(08-15-2018 12:36 AM)David Lockmiller Wrote: Today, I was thumbing through the book and came across an unusual murder case trial (probably 1856) in which Lincoln served as the prosecutor. Heretofore, I thought that Stanton had been the very first attorney to use "temporary insanity" as a defense in a murder case at the trial of Daniel Sickles. It now appears that Lincoln was involved in an earlier case in which "temporary insanity" was also used "successfully" (but the outcome of the trial for the defendant was much different as to be explained) as a defense. David - I read this post in its entirety and found it interesting and a learning experience. For many decades, I, too, have believed that the Sickles case was the first use of "temporary insanity." Thank you. |
