DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the film Not Criminally Responsible\
 , followed by a panel discussion and Q&A session.\nFree and open to all\, 
 however RSVP is required to: innocence [dot] law [at] mail [dot] mcgill [d
 ot] ca\nAbout the Film\, Not Criminally Responsible:\nGripped by psychosis
 \, a troubled young man stabs a complete stranger six times. The young man
 \, Sean Clifton\, is deemed mentally ill\, and therefore not criminally re
 sponsible for his actions. He is then confined to a forensic mental health
  institution\, much to the relief of his victim\, Julie Bouvier. Twelve ye
 ars later\, under a progressive treatment plan designed to reintegrate pat
 ients into society\, Sean is living in the community under supervision\, w
 ith surprising results. He’s seeking an absolute discharge. If he’s succes
 sful\, he will no longer be required to take the anti-psychotic drugs that
  control his mental illness—and his potential for violence.\nAbout the Pan
 el:\nIn light of the complexities of moral culpability and the misconcepti
 ons surrounding mental illness\, we will examine Section 16 of the Crimina
 l Code of Canada\, also known as the “insanity defence.” Section 16 states
  that persons suffering from mental disorders cannot\, under certain condi
 tions\, be held criminally responsible for their acts. Are these provision
 s adequate? What are the impacts of Section 16 on the lives of individuals
  with mental illness and on the lives of their victims? Is the risk of wro
 ngful conviction higher or lower in this context? Should these cases be tr
 eated analogous to other cases of factual innocence? Our panel members wil
 l shed light on these issues by drawing on their diverse areas of expertis
 e.\nPanelists\n   • John Kastner: four-time Emmy Award winner who has disc
 ussed mental health and criminal justice in his documentaries Out of Mind\
 , Out of Sight\, and NCR: Not Criminally Responsible\n	   • Noella & Andy B
 ouvier: parents of the victim featured in Kastner's film Not Criminally Re
 sponsible\n	   • Me Pierre Poupart: criminal defence lawyer\, with extensiv
 e experience in NCR cases in Quebec\n	   • Dr Anne Crocker: professor of ps
 ychiatry at 91������\, whose research areas include criminality a
 mong individuals with severe mental illness and associated criminal proces
 s issues.\nA cocktail reception will follow.\nA request for accreditation 
 as a continuing legal education activity has been made to the Barreau du Q
 uébec.\n \n
