ISU Lecture Program: Insanity Cases that Shaped Popular Culture

Join Professor Tess Neal for lecture “Insanity Cases that Shaped Popular Culture.”

As part of the True Crime ISU lecture series, Neal explores what happens when someone is found "not guilty by reason of insanity." Using real cases, she explains the legal and psychological standards behind insanity defenses and how high-profile trials shape public perceptions of crime and mental illness.
