From an initial spontaneous drawing on the back of a cigarette carton and through a series of subsequent drawings, a defendant, who shot and killed his victim before five witnesses, was granted a complete psychiatric examination on the findings of the drawing analysis. He was evaluated as a paranoid schizophrenic and eventually was acquitted but found insane and committed to a state hospital for treatment. His drawings indicated his threatened sexual identity through a disturbed body image while his movement from reality to disintegration and back is evidenced in corresponding crystalline and fragmentary form productions. The case points out the significance of drawings for psychiatric examination and evidence where they are available. An outline and discussion is appended of the history of the determination of criminal responsibility.
从最初在烟盒背面的自发绘画开始，经过一系列后续绘画，一名在五名证人面前开枪打死受害者的被告，根据绘画分析结果接受了全面的精神病检查。他被评估为偏执型精神分裂症患者，最终被无罪释放，但被认定为精神错乱，并被送往州立医院接受治疗。他的绘画通过紊乱的身体形象表明了他受到威胁的性身份，而他从现实到瓦解再回归的过程则体现在相应的晶体和碎片形式作品中。该案例指出了绘画在精神病检查和有绘画可供参考时作为证据的重要性。附录了一份关于刑事责任判定历史的概述和讨论。
