Madness on Trial: John Hinckley Jr. and the Insanity Defense

Episode 8: Does Jodie Foster Get a Vote?


Listen Later

His appeals give us  a fascinating window into his life at St. Elizabeth's hospital and into his recovery from his mental illness. Oh, and a listener voice memo prompts a game of Robot or Not?
