BREAKING: @JennMcClellanVA’s SB1315–Allowing Evidence of Mental Illness in Non Insanity Cases is on to its third reading! It is the most inclusive version of the legislation, making the legal system most fair for individuals who suffer from mental illness justiceforwardva.com/blog/ac…
NAMI Northern Virginia retweeted
BREAKING: @VaHouse voted UNANIMOUSLY to PASS @JeffMBourne’s HB2047–Allowing Evidence of Mental Illness in Non-Insanity cases. We still stand firm, that in crossover, the bodies add a narrow and well-established definition of “mental illness” that already appears in VA Code.
NAMI Northern Virginia retweeted
Bills proposed to allow the acknowledgement of mental illness in non insanity cases @BarbaraFavola SB1383 @JennMcClellanVA SB1315. Let’s see if @VASenate thinks defendants should be allowed to present relevant info to defend themselves! This SHOULD be bipartisan btw.

Thanks to @JusticeFwdVa for raising awareness. The "Stamper" rule is something that everyone should know about. Particularly those in the mental health and wellness community. @NAMINOVA hopes to speak to support this bill.
A VA rule prohibits introducing evidence of mental illness in crim cases UNLESS the accused pleads not guilty by reason of insanity. Chief Patron @JeffMBourne HB2047 proposes to allow evidence in non-insanity cases, as the Model Penal Code recommends. 6/9 justiceforwardva.com/blog/ac…
