Orion Krause pleads not guilty to brutal quadruple killing; lawyer considers pursuing insanity defense

I came across this today I don't know how. So many terrible things you forget all about them. He went to court in April but there is not a future date in this story.

Rockport man accused of killing mother, grandparents, caretaker enters insanity plea

Insanity defense planned for suspect in Groton killings

Why justice hasn’t been swift for a Maine man accused of killing his family

Orion Krause’s trial is set to begin May 18 in Middlesex County Superior Court in Lowell, Massachusetts.

However, defense attorney Edward Wayland said Tuesday that the state has yet to evaluate Krause’s mental status. In March, the defense entered a not guilty plea based on lack of criminal responsibility due to mental disease or defect.

If the state’s expert agrees with that assessment, then Krause would be found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed to a mental institution for an indeterminate time. If the state’s expert disagrees, the trial would be held and the jury would decide whether Krause was criminally responsible.
