Cermack health facility, or perhaps Cermack Healthe Services?

So many questions!

Perhaps she was in trouble with the law/substances before, but those records remained sealed?

What a mess!

Thanks for the update.

Excellent work, Mr. Chimp.

Point of clarification, though

To recap, her third set of lawyers (the family Wise) had entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity. The next natural step is to prove the defendant's current fitness or lack thereof.

I don't think Sliwinski has ever entered a "by reason of insanity" defense into the record.

When she entered her Wise-era plea, it was a simple "Not guilty".

Wise then launched the whole fitness to stand trial deal, which is separate from an insanity defense. The insanity card has remained tucked in the defense team's back pocket.

Or am I remembering that wrong?

i don't remember the insanity defense being made directly

but i believe that the issue at hand was initially fitness to stand trial _and_ sanity at the time of the offense. and that later on, it was amended to just fitness to stand trial.

No worries. I wasn't sure if I had remembered that correctly or not. She's flipped attorneys so many times and launched so many motions, it's a Herculean task for anyone to keep all her BS straight.
