Watch Jack’s Interview on Law & Crime
We've all see people plead the insanity defense on TV and in the movies and it always seems to be successful. However, in real life, it can be far more challenging. One of the reasons is that the standard is extraordinarily high in Minnesota. Another reason is that normally when you are using this defense, you are admitting that the terrible the person is on trial for is something that happened and the guy actually did it. As a result, a jury is strongly inclined to not give him a pass and simply let him walk.
