Well it helps if you are pleading insanity to have all the shrinks saying you are insane as was in this case..... All five, two for the prosecution, two for the defense and one brought in by the court all seemed to agree....

Insanity isn't a easy defense to win in Texas or so it's claimed. Only a small precentage are successful or that's what I've read.

No. If the docs diagnose that you are completely nuts though, the jury and the law may send you to the nuthouse. That's, because the law recognizes punishment is justified by choices made. It is not justified if the person is incapable of making choices, but is driven by the random wanderings of a disfunctional mind.

Let's hope (all we can do these days) that when we hear "the Koran made me do it" juries are not as "compassionate".

This is sickening...where is the justice for these murdered children and for the little one who is maimed? They bought the shrinks' (secular priests)arguments...
