This casebook first presents clinical background and summarizes the
history of the insanity defense. The heart of the book features
extensive excerpts of testimony from the trial of John W. Hinckley
Jr., and draws out the widely contrasting accounts of Hinckley's
psychiatric condition, motivations, and legal responsibility at the
time of the offense. The text then reviews public reactions to the
verdict, poses comments and questions about the trial, and
summarizes the legislative reforms of insanity defense that
followed the verdict. The book concludes by reviewing the 35-year
period of judicial oversight of Hinckley's hospitalization,
treatment, outpatient supervision and release.
