Two Pistols at the Capitol

A house painter is charged with assault with intent to kill after attacking the President. As the President left a funeral at the Capitol, the accused stepped up and pulled the trigger of a pistol. It misfired. He drew a second pistol. It misfired too. Both were loaded. He was seized on the spot. The accused believes he is the rightful King of England and that the President is blocking his claim to the throne. Even the prosecution accepts he holds this delusion. The jury must decide whether he was insane when he acted.
