Working the insanity angle not that he really needs to.

Of course he’s insane so lets put him down.

I think the pleas shoul be changed from “not guilty by reason of insanity” to “guilty but insane”. The defendant has to plead guilty, then the burrden of proof is on him to show that he was insane.

If he fails, he can be sentenced with no appeals about guilt.

He is certainly insane, but I believe that there is overwhelming evidence that at the time of the crimes, this murderer did appreciate the nature or quality or wrongfulness of the acts and as such, an insanity defense may be good theater, and a good money maker for those that present it, he will eventually be found guilty and sent to prison.
