Hinckley, Jr., shot and wounded President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981. Part I of this book provides background on the nature of the problem and on the history of the insanity defense. Part II presents the Hinckley case itself, primarily through excerpts from the actual trial testimony, from the arguments of counsel, and from the judge's instructionsto the jury. Part III concludes by raising for consideration and study someof the difficult questions of policy presented by the Hinckley trial; it also examines the reforms of the law of insanity recently adopted by various legislatures around the country.
