QuoteIn February, the state Psychiatric Security Review Board granted Brewis a conditional release from the hospital.
In a recent letter to Guimond, a state attorney argued that Brewis' claims did not warrant a hearing in light of her impending discharge.
"I don't want to tie up the court's time and waste valuable state resources by having a hearing on a case that is certain to become moot," wrote Thomas Castle, a state assistant attorney general, in a March 15 letter to the judge.
As I was reading this article, my sympathies were directed, equally to the woman and the staff.
This statement has shifted my sympathy toward the women. Quite simply because she has made a complaint, after the fact. To suggest this is now moot, because the woman is being conditionally discharged is preposterus.
