    I, Judge Awotwi, presided over the mock trial State Prosecution vs. Macbeth, and it is my duty to uphold the rule of law and instruct true justice upon this issue. The defendant entered a plea of insanity due to delusional compulsion before this court on October 24, 2017, after committing beyond a doubt one count of murder and two counts of felony murder. The question is not whether Macbeth committed these crimes, or if he is judged to be found guilty; it is to judge if the defendant “did not have [the] mental capacity to distinguish between right and wrong”, and that is the responsibility of the court (16-3-2). Due to the facts presented in court I have come to a verdict. The defense’s unique argument and main points overwhelmed the predominant…

    Society thinks in black and white. There are normal people, and there are abnormal people. The normal people are the neurologically typical who can function in regular society, while the abnormal people cannot. These people are usually pushed out of the circles of acceptance and casted as outcasts, or in the case of Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, pushed into the Oregon psychiatric hospital and labeled as “crazy.”…

    “You must plead insanity. You must give the jury a way out. You must show them a way to find him not guilty if they are so inclined. If they’re sympathetic, if they want to acquit, you must provide them with a defense they can use to do it. It makes no difference if they believe the insanity crap.…

    Evil vs Insanity For years, many believed that insanity and evil came hand in hand… but do they really? New research suggests that this may not be the case: “The vast majority of sociopaths are not mass murderers” (Cohen). However, a wide range of people confuse both of these topics into one and would therefore disagree. In order to fully understand whether evil and insanity are more similar than different, we have to break down what these aspects mean separately, the beliefs and controversies concerning them both, and then discuss how well they really do tie into one another.…

    There are many experts that have explored the idea of how the Insanity Defense could be “fixed” for the public to agree with. Richard Bonnie, a professor of public policy, law and medicine at the University of Virginia, has came to the theory that the insanity defense should not be abolished but should be narrowed. He came to the conclusion that the criteria of what qualifies for “Insanity”, by narrowing the criteria, it will help persuade the public that the insanity defense is not harmful for the overall public, but it is a healthier outcome. Another way to help the public agree is to inform the public what actually happens in these court cases, and help sort out the…
