I understand the fear that someone else might use this, but here's the link I posted earlier to a very good (but long ... stay with it) discussion of the insanity defense ...

... which gives statistics as to just how rarely this defense works.

I don't think the insanity defense works if you are ugly or male.

On Andrea's side she is very smart. Medicine may have made her chubby ,but it did not make hideously fat. She is somewhat comely. I think that is why she got off.

The anti child crowd has relished this horrible case, and if there are any copycat cases, they will share in karmic debt.

Thanks, I have read it before. Will discuss another time when I'm not so rushed as right now.
