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.law [at] mail.mcgill.ca\nAbout the 
 Film\, Not Criminally Responsible:\nGripped by psychosis\, a troubled youn
 g man stabs a complete stranger six times. The young man\, Sean Clifton\, 
 is deemed mentally ill\, and therefore not criminally responsible for his 
 actions. He is then confined to a forensic mental health institution\, muc
 h to the relief of his victim\, Julie Bouvier. Twelve years later\, under 
 a progressive treatment plan designed to reintegrate patients into society
 \, Sean is living in the community under supervision\, with surprising res
 ults. He’s seeking an absolute discharge. If he’s successful\, he will no 
 longer be required to take the anti-psychotic drugs that control his menta
 l illness—and his potential for violence.\nAbout the Panel:\nIn light of t
 he complexities of moral culpability and the misconceptions surrounding me
 ntal illness\, we will examine Section 16 of the Criminal Code of Canada\,
  also known as the “insanity defence.” Section 16 states that persons suff
 ering from mental disorders cannot\, under certain conditions\, be held cr
 iminally responsible for their acts. Are these provisions adequate? What a
 re the impacts of Section 16 on the lives of individuals with mental illne
 ss and on the lives of their victims? Is the risk of wrongful conviction h
 igher or lower in this context? Should these cases be treated analogous to
  other cases of factual innocence? Our panel members will shed light on th
 ese issues by drawing on their diverse areas of expertise.\nPanelists\n   
 • John Kastner: four-time Emmy Award winner who has discussed mental healt
 h and criminal justice in his documentaries Out of Mind\, Out of Sight\, a
