A Conversation with "Mr. Murder": David Hennessy on Homicide, Justice, and the Convictions that Haunt Him
David Hennesy is a legendary figure in Indiana legal circles. A long time attorney, he has done criminal defense work for 40 years — and in that time, as you will hear, he estimates that he has won 100 murder cases. Perhaps that is part of the reason people have given him the nickname Mr Murder. But now- after finishing one last case- he is leaving all that behind and retiring. We thought this would be a perfect time then to reach out to him. We wanted to talk to him about his distinguished career, hear about some of the cases that haunt him and learn about what practical advice he has to offer other attorneys.Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Assassination of President James Garfield: A Conversation with C.W. Goodyear
We tend to think of the assassinations of American Presidents as being quick and sudden affairs — such as when killers pulled the trigger on their weapons and took the lives of men like Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. But the death of President James Garfield was very different. We talked with Garfield biographer CW Goodyear about the horrible lingering death of this President — and also how it helped spur inventions like air conditioning and the metal detector.You can buy C.W. Goodyear's book — PRESIDENT JAMES GARFIELD — at Amazon.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/President-Garfield-Radical-CW-Goodyear/dp/1982146915?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=fa581cea29d4dfe62a11fca9bc088039&camp=1789&creative=9325">Garfield</a>The Murder Sheet participates in the Amazon Associate program and earns money from qualifying purchases.

Mental Health in the Criminal Justice System: What's the Difference Between Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity and Incompetent to Stand Trial?
We've all heard about the Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity — or NGRI — defense that is sometimes used in court- but what exactly does it mean? How common is this defense used? Would it be easy for a defendant to successfully fake a mental illness in order to employ this defense?To get answers, we spoke with someone who works in the field. We verified her experience but because she is still active in this area, she asked that we not use her name or identifying information.Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
