Insanity Defense

However, under serious conditions, crime cannot be difficult to defeat. Some crime activities are more difficult to deal with than others. This implies that, each crime activity deserves its own counter effect. Those who participate in these crime activities should be severely punished. The punishment should consequently be fit for the crime action it is made for. However, it is alleged that, Daniel had a strong believe in the fact that, Drummond was peel. Daniel M`Naghten was found by the court to have been insane at the time he committed the act (Gooding, 148). As I had stated earlier, M`Naghten rule states that, “Everyman is to be presumed to be sane, and that to insert a defense on the ground of insanity, it must be clearly proved that, at the time of committing the act, the party accused was laboring under such a defect of reason, from disease of mind, and not to know nature and quality of the act he was doing, or if he did know it, that he did not know what he was doing was wrong.
