Forensic psychologist Dr. Patrick McGonigal will break down the legal criteria for the insanity defense and walk you through how experts evaluate defendants who plead NGRI. You’ll examine real-world examples from well-known and contentious cases and use what you’ve learned to decide for yourself whether the courts got it right. Dr. McGonigal earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a Forensic Emphasis from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and works as a psychologist at Patton State Hospital. He has published multiple peer-reviewed articles on forensic mental health and brings extensive clinical and courtroom experience to this complex topic.
