Description

On the afternoon of February 18, 1967, Janet White, defendant below, was changing her second child, a three month old infant.
As she afterwards told the doctor at the hospital emergency room where the baby was taken, the baby was screaming, "my mind
snapped, and I threw her on the floor." Mrs. White then picked the baby up and put it in the crib. An hour later, the baby
died from what was later determined to be a large skull fracture on the left side of the head, causing massive blood clot
pressure on the brain and the cessation of the life functions. Janet White was charged with and acquitted of the criminal
offense of voluntary manslaughter on the defense of insanity. It is from the judgment of acquittal that the State takes this
appeal. The main issue at trial was Mrs. White's sanity at the time of the incident. This issue was explored through the testimony
of three doctors: Conlyn Cedarblom, a general practitioner and Mrs. White's obstetrician for her two deliveries; Sol Levy,
a specialist in psychiatry and neurology called by the prosecution; and Myrick Pullen, a specialist in psychiatry and Director
of Mental Health Division of the Idaho State Department of Health called by the defense. There was little disagreement among
these witnesses, though the disagreement which developed was critical and will be detailed after an exposition of the uncontroverted
facts.
