Madness on Trial: John Hinckley Jr. and the Insanity DefenseAuthor: Dan Greenstone
John Hinckley Jr.s acquittal was the most important insanity defense case of the past century. Join hosts Dan Greenstone, Travis Chandler and Daniel Mokrauer-Madden, as they trace how one young mans obsession with movie star Jodie Foster curdled into a bizarre assassination attempt on President Reagan. The hosts talk with the country's leading historians, psychiatrists, lawyers, and scholars of the insanity defense to help make sense of this fascinating and momentous story that horrified a nation, started a national conversation about mental illness, and changed the justice system forever.
