The Indiana Supreme Court unsealed the fate of death-row inmate Vincent Prowell, sentenced to die for the 1993 murders of Denise Powers and Chris Fillbright outside the Green River Manor Apartments. He will be tried anew. In a quick and unanimous decision, the court sent the case back to Vanderburgh County with orders to vacate his guilty plea - accepted after Prowell's attorney vouched for his soundness of mind - and grant him a new trial. "It was (Prowell's) failure to admit to hallucinations that partially prevented" a psychologist from diagnosing him with paranoid schizophrenia. "This is reasoning straight out of 'Catch-22,'" the court wrote. "The state contends that if Prowell suffers from a disorder that causes him to deny its symptoms, he must be sane."
