In Re People v. Watkins, Cassidy (Honorable Joseph Whitfield)

The petitioner seeks relief from the trial court’s orders of July 21, 2021, and July 23, 2021.

On September 28, 2021, the Supreme Court issued a rule to show cause why the trial court did not err in precluding the defendant from introducing evidence of her mental condition.  The respondents are directed to file a written answer on or before October 26, 2021.  The petitioner has 21 days from receipt of the answer within which to reply.
