Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

adequacy of insanity evaluations

I am interest in any state or federal appeals court decision in which a guilty verdict after a failed insanity defense was overturned because of insufficient effort by the mental health expert, e.g., failed to review mental health records or to interview appropriate witnesses. Thanks.
