P. v. Wilcox
Nicole Kathleen Wilcox was convicted following a court trial of one count of arson (Pen. Code,[1] 451, subd. (b)). The court suspended imposition of sentence and placed Wilcox on probation for three years, subject to treatment and restitution conditions. Wilcox appeals contending the trial court erred in allowing the case to proceed without a not guilty by reason of insanity plea, and in excluding evidence of mental disease or defect as a defense to the crime of arson. Court will reject both contentions and affirm.
