I'm guessing that JB could find plenty of professionals that would classify her as insane.
Yeah Casey is ''insane'' in common use of word but definitely not ''insane'' in medical terms. It is soooooooo difficult for professionals to accept that diagnosis, many criteria. And Casey did a lot of things during those 31 days that exhibit she is not ''insane'' in medical terms.
I see a SOCIOPATH....and I see a family who exhibits traits of the sociopathic spectrum. And because she is a sociopath she will never admit on harming the baby. NEVER. They never see themselves as anything short of PERFECT. If people around them say they did something wrong, then the people around them are just misled, stupid, or ignorant. A sociopath is never wrong, is never imperfect, and always knows best.
Thus....JB cannot use an insanity plea. They will have to admit first something happen and then go for that which Casey will never ever do. Because they see the world very differently, she has no real perception of how serious the situation and the evidence are against her. It would be a miracle if her attorney convinced her to confess and take the limited immunity offer. She will only admit something happened - it will be a story that will show very little responsibility on her part - ONLY I repeat ONLY if it is a great deal for her. If it is really very little time in jail. Otherwise she believes she can fool the system.
