I have a question regarding insanity. I realize that insanity is a legal term and can be successful if it can be shown that person did not know right from wrong at the time of the crime but is there not some leeway legally for those who do know the difference between right and wrong but believe that it does not apply to them?
I think KC knows right from wrong, but in her mind society's rules do not pertain to her. Could this have been grounds for insanity defense and had KC's defense gone with insanity plea, might it have been successful?
If so, how much chance is there that their not claiming insanity could be seen by an appellate court as ineffective assistance of counsel?
