INSANITY DEFENSE AND PLEA BARGAINING
Assignment Overview
The insanity defense is a criminal defense that has a long history, and sometimes leads to very controversial trial outcomes.
Case Assignment
After reading Appelbaum (2013), Maidman (2016), and watching the video, write a 3- to 4-page paper in which you explain the basics of the insanity defense and argue for or against (you pick one side) the insanity defense as a Constitutional right. Examples from cases that you have found through your own research will help to support your arguments and to build a better paper.
Examples of Areas to Consider:
Did the assailant have a life-long history of mental health problems?
Is there such a thing as temporary insanity?
Are psychiatric diagnoses foolproof, or are diagnoses often made up?
Can a pre-planned murder be carried out by an insane person?
