Hand's attorney, Eric Whitcher, revealed that his client may suffer from Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and other mental health issues.
 
October 2015:

Hand has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to second-degree murder. His attorney earlier asked Judge Craig Pfeifle to suppress statements Hand gave police. A psychologist testified Hand is intellectually disabled and would have some difficulty understanding his rights.

Police testified Hand was read his rights before he was interviewed, agreed to speak with police and waived his right to an attorney.

Pfeifle denied the defense motion on Thursday.
