BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

In 1843 the trial of Daniel McNaughton made legal history. McNaughton had killed Edward Drummond , secretary to the Prime Minister, Robert Peel , having intended the bullet for Peel himself. It was the first time someone was found not guilty by reasons of insanity. Steve Gooch 's play lets McNaughton tell the story himself. Producer Marilyn Imrie
