Patrizia Guarnieri

4.9/5 (31456 ratings)

Description:Between 1873 and 1875 four children disappeared without trace from a small village in Tuscany. Finally, the mystery was Carlo Grandi, a 24-year-old cartwright living in the village, was caught while beating a young boy, apparently on the point of killing him. The corpses of the four children were later found buried in Grandi's workshop. In this book, Guarnieri examines in detail the ensuing murder the brief investigation leading quickly to the confession of the alleged killer and his indictment; the course of the "insanity trial" leading up to the verdict; and the immediate medical, legal and public reactions to the conviction. The author argues that this trial is historically important because it marks one of the first appearances in court of scientists debating the state of mental illness or sanity of the defendant, and his responsibility for the crime. Guarnieri describes how the trial became a battleground for different definitions of between, on the one hand, the conception of mental illness as a lack of any intellectual and rational faculty and, on the other, the more modern idea of "moral insanity" which implied uncontrolled and unmotivated behaviour.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
