Goodman Challenges Mental Fitness for Trial | Green Bay News

Walter Goodman, one of four charged in a harrowing child neglect case, is challenging a July report claiming he’s mentally fit for trial, demanding a new competency evaluation — a request the judge has agreed to review on October 30th. The case stems from last August when a 14-year-old girl, weighing just 35 pounds and suffering organ failure, was found locked up and denied care for years. While two co-defendants have already pleaded guilty — Walter receiving 15 years and Kayla awaiting sentencing — Savanna LeFever’s plea hearing looms next week. This deeply disturbing case underscores the urgent need for protective systems — and now, the legal system is focused on ensuring all involved can meaningfully participate in their own defense.
