Pay attention to the Andrea Yates murder trial going on now in Houston. It's already being spun on the news that this is a case of severe mental illness brought on by post partum depression. I saw a woman on tv the other day telling us all how wrong it was to try her for murder.
So just watch this case and I'm sure you can learn all you want.

Are you looking for particular states, case law, or just general information? Keep in mind that insanity laws are going to very greatly from state to state.
You can access the State Of California's Law Library at: www.leginfo.ca.gov. This includes the Penal Code, Welfare and Institutions Code, etc. Search for 5150 in the W&I if you're looking for basic information on insanity.
