what's the point of insanity laws if the whole purpose is to convince a jury that insane acts were committed by sane people?

No kidding. That's five votes the Republicans will never get now...

Mind you, since I've claimed that fervent religious belief is a mental disease, I guess I can't complain about the verdict, eh?

Thank you liberals for keeping people like Yates out of the electric chair...

Thank you for keeping insane people out of asylums and on the streets where they get no treatment and have no hope.

but claiming that you were sane at that time is the question. no one can know and because of that then the legal system can never be too sure. the only one who really knows is the one being accused
