Impossible. Legally insane means the person was not able to to know the difference between right and wrong.
Sociopaths are not insane, they are manipulative.
Any attempt to lie or cover up a crime is proof the person was aware what they did was wrong and against the law, therefore not legally insane.

True, but as you point out, sociopaths are very manipulative. She is going to do the “other planet” defense and try to convince the experts that she, in fact, doesn’t know right from wrong.

Hanging out in bars partying will be used as evidence of not knowing right from wrong. She probably does know the difference (almost everyone does), but is a sociopath. Can she convince the experts and the jury?

I don't know if a the criteria for criminally insane person and a legally insane person is the same......
