[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 506922, member: 1514"] We have several different pleas. Not guilty by reason of Insanity or guilty but insane. They are really very hard to win on those pleas though because it isnt just that the person has a diagnoses of a psychiatric condition, but they do not know at the time of the killing that what they did was wrong and understand the consequences of their actions. Even Andrea Yates couldnt win on this plea and I thought she was a slam dunk for it. Even a plea of guilty but insane puts them in a state mental hospital until they are well enough to stand trial for what they have done. If one pleads not guilty by reason of insanity or mental defect and they are found guilty, they will either be put in general population or end up in the prison psychiatric ward and serve their sentences there and wont be tried again.
