Tanya Greenwood’s Competency Challenge | Lincoln News

Tanya Greenwood, a Lincoln woman, faces felony child abuse charges after the death of her four-month-old daughter in 2025 — believed to be caused by shaking and potentially preventable with timely medical care. Though previously deemed competent to stand trial, her defense is now pushing for a second mental evaluation, citing doubts about her grasp of legal proceedings — a concern amplified by prior incompetence rulings. Her husband, Ryan Greenwood, has already been convicted of intentionally shaking the baby to death and sentenced to 65-80 years. A critical hearing on Tanya’s competency is scheduled for August 17 at 1:30 PM, potentially halting the trial until further clarity is reached.
