S2.E17: Unfit For Trial? Jane Finch, Justice

The Big Issues

The young woman suspected by police to be late Piccadilly resident, Jane Finch’s killer has been deemed unfit to stand trial due to a reported psychological disorder. The homicide happened in October last year (2021). Finch was posting to Facebook in the moments before her death alerting her community that a woman she described as "deranged" was breaking into her home at that very moment. In this episode, we ask: What does the newest development mean for those seeking justice for Finch’s killing and what does it tell us about mental health in our society?
