Quote:Bath tubs are not made for drowning your five kids in, either. Andrea Yates pleas temp insanity.

I think this guy has a stronger plea.

@Pete: I can say that sometimes, in the driveway is a function of time, place, motivation, and overwhelming desire. No judgment involved, due to redirection of the bulk of blood flow. :whistling:

DR

Severe Post-Partum depression leading to psychosis is, I would hope, a much stronger insanity plea than "I was really freakin' mad."

If anger is insanity, then the whole foundation of the justice system (in either of our countries) is pretty much down the toilet. People do all sorts of things in anger. It doesn't mean they're crazy. Having suicidal depression leading to the obsession with the belief that your kids are better off dead, on the other hand, actually does mean you're crazy.
