Case 81: Brian Wells
Casefile True Crime
The Indictment of Marjorie Wells and Ken Wells
Marjorie and Ken Wells were both charged with conspiracy to commit armed robbery, aiding and abetting an armed bank robbery involving a death. Deceased persons Bill Rothstein and Brian Wells were also indicted as conspirators to the crime. Marjorie's own psychiatrist testified that she was not competent to stand trial due to her inability to cooperate due to symptoms of her bipolar disorder. The cord-appointed psychiatrist came to the conclusion that Marjorie didn't have bipolar disorder at all, but she was actually suffering from PTSD and a personality disorder with paranoid and narcissistic traits. Under US federal law, personality disorder was not at the time considered a mental health condition which would preclude someone from standing trial
