A woman named Sarah Simpson was found guilty of attempted murder after trying to kill a school teacher with the delusion that she was “trying to persecute her.” She was declared “not sound of mind” and was sent to a mental hospital. She then received a lobotomy from Dr. Angelucci in 1952. She was then considered “of sound mind” and was brought back into society because of this procedure.
