Insanity defence set for man who dropped daughter off bridge

John Jonchuck, second from right, appears in court for a pretrial motions hearing at the Pinellas County Justice Center in Clearwater, Fla., Thursday, March 14, 2019. Jonchuck is accused of dropping his 5-year-old daughter off a Tampa Bay bridge. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- No one disputes John Jonchuck dropped his 5-year-old daughter from a Florida bridge to her death four years ago, but whether he is a murderer or insane will soon be up to a jury to decide.

"He'll be in a state prison for the rest of his life, or a state hospital for the rest of his life," Dillinger said. Twelve hours before Phoebe's death, Jonchuck's divorce lawyer, Genevieve Torres, called a state child protection hotline, fearing for the girl's safety. Torres also told the operator, who was inexperienced, that the department had an open investigation after an earlier caller accused Jonchuck of violence, substance abuse, and inadequate supervision.

There’s a cure, drop him off the same bridge

well, since they are murdering new born babies, Im sure they can shave off some time, and call it is a late abortion. Men have equal rights too.

No no no. This is not right.

Sick of people using this defense in crimes

So tragic. This poor child - my heart goes out to those who loved her and to the people who tried to save her. Him.......
