Jared Lee Loughner did not qualify for the insanity defense because the court determined that he was competent to stand trial and understood the nature of his actions. Although he exhibited signs of mental illness, particularly schizophrenia, he was found to have a rational understanding of his crimes and the consequences. This assessment led to his conviction, as the legal standard for insanity requires a complete inability to distinguish right from wrong at the time of the offense.
