Episode Details

A young man accused of stabbing his frail, housebound father 27 times is fighting for not guilty by reason of insanity, claiming a severe psychotic episode triggered by medication reduction led him to believe his father was threatening his family — a delusion so real to him he saw his violent actions as a necessary sacrifice. Despite the horror of the crime, his family calls him “lovable” and calls it a “tragic accident,” continuing to support him. Doctors say he was mentally unwell, convinced he was living in a simulation and responsible for genocide — and that he couldn’t help himself. The jury must decide: was this a crime of passion or a breakdown of sanity?
