In light of charges of High Treason, Louis Riel's Defence Counsel pleadednon compos mentis, not guilty by reasonof insanity. The prisoner disagreed with his counsel and protested his sanity threetimes during the trial. With his own lawyers discrediting the validity of hispolitical and religious ambitions, Riel was unsatisfied with his counsel. Similarly,critics, activists, and nationalists also have had an awkward time effectivelyresponding to the question of Riel's insanity. This paper considers the uses ofRiel's insanity defense, in particular the opinions of the various psychologistswhose judgments determined Riel's fate, his trial, and many of the posthumousresponses.Face à l’accusation de haute trahison, l’avocat de ladéfense de Louis Riel plaida non coupable pour cause d’aliénationmentale.

Le présent document traitera du recours à cettedéfense, et plus particulièrement des avis des différents psychologues quiscellèrent le destin de Riel, de son procès et des nombreuses réactions qui sontsurvenues après sa mort
