Is the Insanity Defense Constitutional? A Conversation w/ Stephen Morse

Elizabeth Tanaka

This podcast discusses the constitutional issues regarding the insanity defense. "The two examine the question of intent and competency, the notion of right and wrong, as well as how we view crime as a society and subsequently, how we view punishment and its purposes."

Featuring Professor Stephen Morse, of Penn’s Carey Law School, and Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law.
