Description
"In 1991, the police were called to East 72nd St. in Manhattan, where a woman's body had fallen from a twelfth-story window. The woman's husband, Herbert Weinstein, soon confessed to having hit and strangled his wife ... then dropping her body out of their apartment ... The 65-year-old Weinstein ... had no criminal record, no history of violent behavior ... How, then, to explain this horrific act? Journalist Kevin Davis uses the perplexing story of the Weinstein murder to [explore] the intersection of neuroscience and criminal justice: shortly after Weinstein was arrested, an MRI revealed a cyst the size of an orange on his brain's frontal lobe, the part of the brain that governs judgment and impulse control"--,Provided by publisher.
