A judge is expected to issue a ruling this week on allowing Bruce Rowan to move into an unlocked ward at Western State Hospital.
Rowan, 38, currently remains in a locked ward in the Steilacoom mental hospital after a jury found him innocent by reason of insanity for killing his wife in 1998 at their rural Port Angeles home.
Clallam County Superior Court Judge George L. Wood will issue a ruling today or Friday following testimony in early July on whether to allow the former doctor to enter the hospital’s Community Program.
