Not succeeding a bad plan does not equate with being insane... just stupid. Too often, it seems to me, a defendant's lawyer and the courts accept stupid for insane... and I for one am tired of it.
I think we need a very high threshold for an insanity plea. Certainly higher than what is accepted now in too many cases.
