Show Notes

Attorneys Colin McCallin and Russell Hebets go crazy on the latest episode of Is This Legal.  The insanity defense to criminal charges has been around for thousands of years, but has gone through major transformations throughout the years.  The guys at Hebets and McCallin talk the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan by John Hinkley Jr., what happens when someone is found not guilty by reason of insanity, and how difficult it is for defendants to mount an insanity defense.  Kick back and go nuts listening!
