Lawyers for John LeGrand return to the courtroom this afternoon. Defense lawyers asked Judge Vince Foley if they could have a psychiatrist testify at a hearing to determine if medications, the 43-year-old Sturgis man was on, could have altered his ability to comprehend the details of a plea agreement he signed. Prosecutors maintain a psychiatrist would not bring new information to the debate, and want to call the supervising physician at the Huron Clinic, who’s assistants have had direct medical contact with LeGrand since he’s been jailed in Huron. How the three medications may have affected LeGrand will be a critical deciding factor in whether or not Foley grants a defense motion to withdraw LeGrand’s guilty plea. That motion was filed on October 18th, the day the LeGrand was to have been sentenced for shooting Ricardo “RJ” Hein at LeGrand’s mobile home in April of 2009.
