My God. That's just sick sick sick.
If the courts find someone NG by reason of Insanity, the defendant should by all means be institutionalized.
If they don't have the capacity of right vs. wrong, why do we trust them to roam the streets?????

Insanity in this instance is a legal term, not a medical one apparently. In my view it should be a valid legal defense. However - if the now institutionalized nutcase is ever deemed "cured", then they should go straight to prison, do not pass go, do not collect $200 and stuff kiddies into ovens.
This country is insane, it starts to make sense once you realize that.

If they cannot distinguish right from wrong they should be put to death. Why the special privelege? It is bizarre. Murder is murder.
