Jan Haaken on the role of the insanity defense in mass shooting cases
Frann Michel talks with Jan Haaken, director of the documentary Guilty Except for Insanity, about questions around competency and the insanity plea in the Robert Lewis Dear case, the shooting that left three dead at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs in November. Jan comments on the history of the political use of the insanity plea as well as the role of madness--both individual and collective--in prosecution of mass killings.
