Experts: Schenecker Insanity defense may be iffy

Jury selection is scheduled to begin in Schenecker's murder trial Monday in Hills*borough Circuit Court.

The defense plans to seek a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity on the grounds Schenecker suffered from bipolar disorder with psychotic features and didn't know what she was doing or didn't understand that it was wrong.

But even when everyone agrees a defendant is severely mentally ill, succeeding with an insanity defense is extremely difficult, experts say.

My heart just breaks for the Dad and other family members.
After reading the emails you could see how he was trying his best IMO to get her help. I am certain he never saw this coming, he would have gotten those kids or her ought of there if he had.
What a tragedy.
