kevin is totally right, the producers of this show needed to research what the insanity defense entails.

Ive always loved courtroom drama shows. The law is simply fascinating to me. However, typical to Hollywood and its propensity to get things wrong, these type of shows often anger me.The temporary insanity plea is probably the most misunderstood and misrepresented defense in courtroom dramas. Now each state has some minor differences as to what constitutes insanity, but in a nutshell if the defendant knows right from wrong then insanity doesn’t apply.In this example, the defendant immediately went to his priest after committing the crime. Among other things he asked the priests forgiveness for what he had done. This demonstrates that he knew what he had done was wrong. The temporary insanity plea would be immediately null and void at this time.Keep in mind, temporary insanity is not the same as a heat of passion defense. If you come home and catch your spouse in bed with another and immediately fly into a rage and kill them, that’s heat of passion. For temporary insanity to apply, the effects of the insanity would not wear off immediately after committing the crime as it did in this example.Lastly for insanity and heat of passion type defenses the defendant would still not walk free. They would receive anything from a reduced sentence, like 2nd degree murder or manslaughter, to a possible commitment to a mental hospital or the like, but they would NEVER simply walk free on the crime.

Good show but the quality sucks and every 5 min is buffering, very annoying!!!

great show but it would be nice if the rest of season 1 was on here
