Why should Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI) be used as a defence in criminal trials.

States should provide a full insanity defense. When defendants' mental illnesses prevent them from understanding the wrongfulness of the act or prevent them from controlling their behavior, they should be acquitted by reason of insanity. ... “Guilty but mentally ill” verdicts are ineffective and unjust.
