Timothy Ray Jones Jr. was an alleged schizophrenic who killed 5 children during an episode. He was undiagnosed however schizophrenia ran in his family. He plead not guilty by reason of insanity. A jury convicted him after just 2 hours of deliberations.

Regardless of whether or not Lindsay Clancy should be held criminally responsible, you cant deny that if she was anyone other than a white woman there would not be this many people defending her

Well presumably he pretty obviously did it, the question is the insanity bit. I assume both the defense and prosecution brought forward psychological experts who talked about it.

They used the M'Naghten Rule, meaning they argued he didn’t even know what they were doing is wrong. However, the prosecution countered this by arguing that he spent days driving the bodies in his car in order to hide the evidence. They also said it may have been primarily substance related (drugs) rather than schizophrenia
