Here's another example of lawyers using psychiatric diagnoses as a defense for homicide. It shows that some people will say anything for money. There is no causal connection between a psychiatric diagnosis and crime or violence. Lawyers become judges who continue to promote this misguided fantasy, a means of covering up violence by evil humans who know no respect for others and have little concern for right and wrong. At the same time these evil court room bullies slander all persons who have ever been accused of mental illness, demonizing vulnerable persons with disabilities. In his book The Secret Life of Bill Clinton, about police, courts, FBI and political corruption, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard reveals how the lives of many good and honest policemen and policewomen, informants, prosecutors, judges had their lives destroyed by high level corrupt individuals in state and US government agencies. Two teens were killed to protect drug riddled Arkansas government. One US judge was murdered. In all these and other cases, law abiding civilians had their careers destroyed by use of psychiatric diagnoses. It is an abuse few ordinary civilians understand,  how depraved psychiatrists can be.

[From article]
Grossman-Kerner’s attorney, Todd Greenberg, said she was very distraught.
“She is an attorney and is very upset and a very decent person despite what happened here,” he said. “She has a mental illness and we will deal with this within the court system.”

Lougner's Insanity Defense

[From article]
Loughner's lawyer "is required by law to give notice if she intends to raise an insanity defense, but has not given public indication of her plans.
[. . .]
the M'Naghten Rule still anchors its current form, focusing on whether, "as a result of a severe mental disease or defect," the accused "was unable to appreciate the nature and quality or the wrongfulness of his acts." "Wrongfulness" in this context does not mean contrary to any penal law—actual knowledge of the law may be relevant but it does not determine the outcome. As one court put it, "wrongfulness for purposes of the federal insanity defense statute is defined by reference to objective societal or public standards of moral wrongfulness."
[. . .]
Today, with a delusional disorder defense the right versus wrong test is not whether the defendant believed he was justified based on his delusional view of reality, but whether society would objectively judge his actions as an appropriate response to his delusions.
[. . .]
Insanity and the ability to act in a calculated manner are not mutually exclusive."
