"Joan of Arc heard voices," said Adleman. "Not just any voices, but the voice of God. She said she was following the will of God when she led the French army. She continued to follow the voices and they made her violate church law."

Adleman called his expert witness, Dr. William Carpenter, a psychiatrist (who testified in Hinckley's defense) with expertise in schizophrenia, a mental illness marked by auditory hallucinations.

"Joan suffered from a delusional disorder," testified Carpenter. "At the age of 13, she began hearing voices telling her she could save France. From her point of view, the voices were real. Because of them, she was unable to conform to church law."
