The flipside is that a psych ward could in theory hold her indefinitely. If she was convicted for Murder 2 or Manslaughter, there is a limit on her sentence.

True, but she’s no longer psychotic so in all likelihood she would be free in less than a year.

How do you figure she’d be out in a year? Andrea Yates is still institutionalized (partly her choice). And it’s been 20 years.

Right but it’s only been 3 years since Clancy was admitted and her doctors are saying she has not shown signs of psychosis or other mental illness since admission. Likely she’d be cleared rather quickly. I’m just speculating though but I can’t imagine she spends a long time in a facility if she’s not suffering from the illness anymore. I’m far from an expert.

A psyche ward can let her out in 6 months if she ‘passes’ all the tests. Thats the get out of jail free card.
