Agreed. You don’t get someone committing murder and then getting out of an institution after a few years in a psych ward.

Let’s hope the states are smart enough to do this.

i do this in traffic court all the time
judge: how do you plea?
me: not guilty for reasons of insanity.
Judge: you’re crazy.
me: i’d like to call you as my first witness.
