In the US, temporary insanity or permanent insanity is a defense when a person commits a crime. The reasoning is logical. Persons mentally ill very often have no idea what they are doing if they strike someone on the street for no cause. Clearly this person is too mentally impaired to obey laws and medical help rather than jail is required. Also, there is a defense called temporary insanity. In this situation, if a person has anger problems and reacts to a situation that brings them into a rage, the offense may be excused or if convicted, the person may be charged with a lesser crime. Here' s an example. If a husband comes home to find his wife in bed with another man, the rage might cause the intruding man to be seriously assaulted by the husband who can be said to be temporarily insane.
As of 2021, four states have completely abolished the insanity defense: Idaho, Kansas, Montana, and Utah. These states do not allow defendants to plead not guilty by reason of insanity as a defense in criminal cases.

The insanity defense is alright as long as it is not used in just any case situation involving a murder. An insanity defense may allow a defendant who is mentally competent and has no history of mental illness to fake a specific mental disorder like Dissociative Identity Disorder (like in a Law & Order SVU episode titled "Alternate") and use it as a way to plead "not guilty by reason of insanity."
