People v. Harrisongreen2 sentences2019In contrast our appellate court has described an NGRI adjudication as follows: - 11 - 1-18-1691 “Simply put, under our system of law, an NGRI verdict is, in all form and substance, an acquittal. *** Ultimately, then, a successful insanity defense and a guilty verdict are mutually exclusive: a defendant found to be insane at the time of the crime’s commission cannot be ‘guilty’ because, pursuant to his mental condition, he cannot make an effective choice regarding his behavior. [Citations.] Therefore, without culpable responsibility, guilt cannot attach and the result is an acquittal.” People v 2019In contrast our appellate court has described an NGRI adjudication as follows: “Simply put, under our system of law, an NGRI verdict is, in all form and substance, an acquittal. *** Ultimately, then, a successful insanity defense and a guilty verdict are mutually exclusive: a defendant found to be insane at the time of the crime’s commission cannot be ‘guilty’ because, pursuant to his mental condition, he cannot make an effective choice regarding his behavior.
