Welp, here's another story where you really can't make it up. This Chicago crime story involves a naked woman who stole a cop car, then dragged the police officer. She will NOT go to jail because she was acquitted on the grounds of mental insanity. Instead of jail, she'll need a mental health program, as reported on CBS News. The crime story about the naked woman dragging the cop in the stolen police car also said:
Following a bench trial last month, Cook County Judge Tyria Walton found Whitley Temple not guilty of one count of attempted murder, and also found her not guilty by reason of insanity on four other charges, including two counts of aggravated battery to a police officer, vehicular hijacking, and possession of a stolen vehicle.
The verdict means Temple remains free, but must report to court for a meeting with mental health officials on a treatment plan.
During the bench trial, Temple's defense attorney told the judge his client was "in a psychotic state" at the time of the 2022 incident, and argued that this is a "textbook insanity case." Both sides presented their closing arguments on Wednesday before Walton announced her verdict.
