THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY
according to Mary Starrett and Ben Franklin

...is repeating the same behavior and expecting different results.

In Fact :
A person is insane, and is not responsible for personal conduct if, at the time of such conduct, as a result of a severe mental disease or defect, he was unable to appreciate the nature and quality or the wrongfulness of his acts. This is because willfull intent is an essential part of most offenses; and a person who is insane is not capable of forming such intent. Mental disease or defect does not otherwise constitute a defense; the person has the burden of proving the defense of insanity by clear and convincing evidence.
