Podcasts about not guilty by reason

We've all heard about the Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity — or NGRI — defense that is sometimes used in court- but what exactly does it mean? How common is this defense used? Would it be easy for a defendant to successfully fake a mental illness in order to employ this defense?To get answers, we spoke with someone who works in the field. We verified her experience but because she is still active in this area, she asked that we not use her name or identifying information.Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When Frank James attacked the NYC subway, authorities were quick to assure us it was NOT terrorism! Yet, he's now being tried for... 'terrorism'. This illogical thinking is described and exposed. He's the latest example of the unspoken pact that ‘authorities' have for not leaking any possible clues about the perpetrator of an attack that might make us suspect terrorism - the real Radical Islamist kind. Before we are made to forget who Frank James is and what his motives were, we need to analyze what we do know so far. Neither ISIS, nor Al Qaeda, nor the Taliban have claimed responsibility, and I'm not saying he belongs to one of these terrorist organizations. But, you will hear why I say he was definitely inspired by terrorism - and, though the FBI is now trying to deny it, Frank James WAS once on a terrorist watchlist!We'll look at highlights about the attack itself, but spend more timelooking into who Frank James was - his mysterious history, and hisonline presence - countless posts on YouTube and Facebook. Most of these were angry and hate-filled rants about whites, blacks, Asians, Jews, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and more. One of his online pen-names was Prophet of Doom, and it is clear he believed that Putin's invasion of Ukraine, was a sign that the world was coming to an end. His postings were cries for help and he warned people he was going to attack - yet these were ignored. Lastly, we'll look at what psychiatry has to do with it. Frank claimed he was diagnosed with mental illness and was in treatment for it in New York and New Jersey. Indeed, he blames them for making him worse. His defense attorney has asked forhim to get psychiatric attention while awaiting trial, and will probably try for a Not Competent to Stand Trial and/or Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity defense. But, the prosecutor is trying to stall these developments.  

Non compos mentis is a Latin phrase meaning not having command of one's mind. This episode is part 1 of a 2 part series dealing with the subject of insanity and the law. Part 1 specifically deals with the insanity defense and provides an overview of its history and structure and then concludes with a brief outline of the process insanity acquittals go through post-trial. Given that the Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity (NGRI) or Not Responsible Due to Mental Disease or Defect is both extremely complicated and can vary widely from state to state much of the specific information provided in this episode is focused on New York's process known as CPL 330.20. Part II of this series will take a deeper look at the process that governs the movement, progress, and eventual release to the community of insanity acquittals and will feature an interview with Sheila Shea, Esq., current Director of the Mental Hygiene Legal Service (MHLS), Third Judicial Department, responsible for the legal representation of all persons found Not Responsible Due to Mental Disease or Defect.

Money and Motivation: how do high pay and bonuses affect performance ? Barclays chief, Bob Diamond, was the first high profile company head to be caught up in the "shareholder spring", when investors criticised his multi-million pound pay and bonus package. The Aviva boss has resigned after his pay and bonus was criticised, similarly Sly Bailey of Trinity Mirror has also stood down. The opposition is based on the argument that there should be no payment for failure, but what is the evidence that payment for success is a primary motivation for top business leaders ? Dr Stian Reimers, a psychologist at the City University in London, discusses money and motivation and uncovers a complex picture of how bonuses and incentives affect performance. Taking mental health care into the community: "Street Therapy" Clinical Psychologist, Charlie Alcock, took months to get young gang members on a London estate to trust her. But after being spat at and having stones thrown at her head, she finally succeeded in making contact with this hardest of all hard-to-reach groups. Determined to make mental health services available to these young people - most of whom were involved in extreme anti-social behaviour - she and her team developed "street therapy", a new model of treatment moulded around the often chaotic lives of their clients. Claudia Hammond sees for herself "street therapy" in action, and talks to the former gang members who are now key members of MAC-UK, the charity delivering this new kind of "care in the community". Reforming the Law on Insanity In 1843 a man called M'Naghten attempted to murder the British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel. He got the wrong man, killing his secretary by mistake. Our current laws on insanity are rooted in that case, from nearly 200 years ago. Not surprisingly, pressure to reform "Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity" is growing and the Law Commission is due to consider updating and modernising the rules. Professor Ronnie Mackay from De Montfort University in Leicester discusses his research on how the plea of insanity has been used, in practice. While Dr Tony Maden, Professor of Forensic Psychiatry and Imperial College, London and Dr Lisa Claydon, Associate Professor in Criminal Justice at the University of the West of England debate why and how the law should be changed.
