Monday, February 18, 1991 2 Finn delays ruling on Jacobson defense move to bar information A judge this morning denied a defense attorney's request to rule on a motion to bar the prosecution from obtaining information from psychiatric examinations of Jayne S. Jacobson.

Jacobson's attorney, John Runde, asked Judge John V. Finn to make a decision on a protective order before she undergoes examinations. Runde argued that the outcome of the first part of her trial would be affected if the prosecution obtained information from the examinations, which is to be used in the second part of the trial. Finn said Jacobson will be adequately protected by a temporary order until he reaches a final decision on the issue later. Dr.

John Marshall of the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics in Madison is scheduled to examine Jacobson today. He was selected by the court. Dr. Ralph Baker, an Oshkosh psychiatrist chosen by the state, is set to examine Jacobson on Friday. Jacobson, 30, town of Grand Rapids, appeared in Circuit Court this morning after an appearance was called by Runde.

Examinations were ordered after she pleaded innocent by reason of mental disease or defect on Jan. 9 to a charge of first degree intentional homicide in the death of her co-worker, Julie M. Schroer, Jacobson pleaded innocent to the charge in November. Schroer's body was found in her home at 7240 90th town of Grant, on Sept. 20.

Both women worked in the business department at the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune. On Friday, Finn set a new date of Oct. 1 for the trial in Portage County. Jury selection starts in Barron County on Sept. 30.
