Can someone be found guilty of a crime if they are temporarily insane?
Most states allow a verdict of 'guilty but insane'. Temporary insanity is recognized in some states as a defense or as a mitigating factor in sentencing. A typical usage would be, for example, a woman opens her bedroom door to find her husband with a naked lady in bed with him. She shoots them dead. Temporary insanity might be attempted as a defense in California. The temporary insanity argument is not evenly applied; it is not for amateurs.Added; As a practical matter, the "insanity defense" is difficult and expensive in both time and money for the defendant to 'prove.' In this instance the burden falls on the defendant to convince the jury that they WERE temporarily insane at the time they committed the offense, NOT on the prosecution to prove that they weren't. The costs associated with medical and psychiatric examinations, diagnoses, and expert testimony, is a high barrier to its use as a successful defense, and juries are HIGHLY skeptical of such pleas.
