1. “The insanity defense sits at the juncture of medical views of mental illness and moral and legal theoriesof criminal culpability—two areas of conflict and change. Small wonder that no particular test of insanityhas developed into a constitutional baseline. And it is not for the courts to insist on any single criterionmoving forward. Defining the precise relationship between criminal culpability and mental illness requiresbalancing complex considerations, among them the workings of the brain, the purposes of criminal law,and the ideas of free will and responsibility. This balance should remain open to revision as new medicalknowledge emerges and societal norms evolve.”
