Just as a point of interest, in terms of a legal defense in the US, "insanity" isn't what a lot of people think. It's not a medical term, and whether or not you're considered "insane" by the medical community doesn't enter into it.
All it means is that the person is unable to discern between right and wrong. That's it.
And if you successfully employ the defense (which very rarely succeeds), it doesn't mean you go free. It more likely means that you'll be institutionalized differently.
