In this episode, Kris and Adam talk to Dr. John C. Brady II, Ph. D., D. Crim., regarding the recent criminal case of Luigi Mangione, who is charged with the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson. Dr. Brady also discusses comparison cases like Sirhan Sirhan. We discuss the factors behind full criminal responsibility, diminished capacities, and the insanity defense.

Dr. John C. Brady II, a California-licensed forensic psychologist, is the author of six true crime books in his Bad Actor Series. He is a psychologist and criminologist with a masters and doctorate in criminology from UC Berkeley. He has used both disciplines and his forty-plus years in private practice to discover why ordinary, law-abiding people suddenly begin to engage in criminal acts. In this seventh and most recent book, Psychological DNA, he explains the criminal-psychological drivers that led Sirhan Sirhan to assassinate Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Dr. Brady has diagnosed and treated dissociative, multiple personality cases like Sirhan’ s in inpatient hospital and outpatient settings, and served as an expert witness in court proceedings. In his forensic psychology practice, he has worked with various criminal populations having analyzed hundreds of “bad actor” cases, including celebrity offenders.
