Competency, Culpability, and an ‘Insane’ Criminal Case - EscapeBite ep.1

from Crisis & Consequences · host Escape Pod

When a common person uses the term “insane” or “incompetent” to describe someone, they’re rarely using the same standard as that of a lawyer or judge in a court of law. The Escape Pod’s own former news reporter-turned-podcast co-host can testify to this, using the example of a South Dakota kidnapping/murder case she first covered 20+ years ago.    Resources & Links    State vs. Tiegen (2008 appeal)  https://rapidcityjournal.com/article_aa584242-94b1-5ffb-aa4c-7460348af576.html  https://rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/more-kidnapping-charges-filed-in-troy-klug-case/article_781f7e59-4ead-5cc1-bf91-2e3c72dfb690.html  https://rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/top-stories/kindall-faces-victim-s-mother-at-sentencing/article_7277899f-383f-5072-844a-2a1d0d827c19.html    Sign up to be a Patron today!
