Defendant : Jeffrey Dahmer

Each of you will be assigned a criminal defendant who raised the insanity defense. You must research your defendant and prepare a report describing the crime, the reasons why insanity was used in the case, what the test used by that state was at the time of the trial, and what is the insanity test currently used by that state.

Providea summary of your case study to your peers. Be sure to include a summary of the offense, the type of insanity claim raised and the test applies, and the outcome of the case.

You may post a video or even a power point to explain to the class the history of your “insanity” defendant.
