INSANITY DEFENSE 101 WITH PROF JO
What exactly is an insanity defense—and how does it apply to the Lindsay Clancy case?
Join Prof Jo as she breaks down the insanity defense 101, including what the defense must establish, how mental illness differs from legal insanity, the role of expert testimony, and what the jury ultimately has to consider when determining criminal responsibility.
We’ll look at the legal standards surrounding insanity in Massachusetts and examine how Lindsay Clancy’s defense is approaching the issue of her mental state, while separating the legal questions from the emotional and highly complex circumstances of this case.
What does “legally insane” actually mean? What does the defense have to prove? And how might the jury evaluate the evidence?
