The textbook chapter on the insanity defense provides two criteria for establishing the defense “Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI)”:
<
<
1) the M’Naughten Rule and
<
<
2) The American Law Institute Standard.
<
<
There is much controversy about NGRI and whether defendants should be allowed to use this defense.
<
<
First define NGRI and each of the two criteria: M’Naughthen Rule and the American Law Institute Standard.
<
<
Next, take a stance: is each NGRI morally justifiable (that is, is it right or wrong t and why)? Use case examples to make your points (for example, Andrea Yates, John Hinkley).
<
<
Given your stance, do you agree or disagree with the recent Supreme Court decison (Kahler v. Kansas, 2020) that a state is not required to have an insanity defense? (textbook page 256 and see also https://harvardlawreview.org/2020/11/kahler-v-kansas/)
