Ineffective assistance of counsel; Failure to pursue an insanity defense; Remand for an evidentiary hearing pursuant to People v. Ginther

In an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal the Court of Appeals judgment (see e-Journal # 56471 in the 3/7/14 edition), the court remanded the case to the trial court for a Ginther hearing “to determine whether the defendant was deprived of his right to the effective assistance of trial counsel based on counsel’s failure to pursue an insanity defense.” The court denied leave to appeal in all other respects because it was not persuaded that it should review the questions presented.
