Ep 157 Pt 3- 2nd Cast INCENDIARY by Michael Cannell 'Laws of Sanity'

Spoiler Alert! Be sure to listen to Parts 1 and 2, Ep 152 and 154, before listening to this conclusion!  Part 3:  In this gripping conclusion, after a lengthy 16-year manhunt, the Mad Bomber, George Metesky, is finally apprehended in Waterbury, Connecticut, long after he unleashed a wave of terror across New York City with his dangerous bombings. The palpable relief among NYPD Captain Kinney and the Bomb Squad echoes through the halls of 'The Tombs,' a notoriously grim jail in Lower Manhattan, where Metesky is held. In the courtroom, a fierce contest unfolds between the psychiatrists assessing Metesky's mental state and a steadfast 'law and order' judge, resolute in his determination to see justice served. As a battle of wits and jurisdiction ensues, George's declining physical health raises urgent questions about his ability to stand trial. Caught in this agonizing limbo, he is committed to Matteawan Psychiatric Hospital, where the evolving laws surrounding sanity lead to an unforeseen resolution. Meanwhile, Dr. James Brussel, the visionary behind reverse psychology—now recognized as criminal profiling—delves into other cold cases, offering insights that unlock the identities of elusive suspects. His expertise even aids in tracking down a chilling serial killer in Boston, whose reign of terror has left a grim trail of bodies, igniting fear throughout the city.
