Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the Queen's trial against Francis Valentine Cuthbert Shortis, who was indicted for the murder of John Loye and Maxime Leboeuf in Valleyfield, Canada, on March 1, 1895. The case became a sensation, with the public clamoring for Shortis's punishment. However, the defense argued that Shortis was insane at the time of the murders, presenting a compelling case that his actions were driven by mental illness rather than malice. The book delves into the complex medical and legal issues surrounding the case, examining the testimony of experts and witnesses, and delving into the defendant's mental state and family history. It sheds light on the challenges of determining criminal responsibility in cases involving mental illness, raising important questions about the nature of insanity and the boundaries between right and wrong. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243537594_0
