Before he calmly called the police to confess what he had just committed, he cleaned the blood off his hands and face, changed his clothes and sat on the couch for nearly an hour and then called 911 to report “I hurt my wife, send the police”.

Although it seems out of the ordinary that a perfectly loving husband had any reason to kill his wife in the middle of watching a hockey game, he did say that he knew the difference between right and wrong. He can only get off on NCR if he didn’t know the difference. In an article by The Police Insider, “Kapsik indicated the voices he heard didn’t tell him to do anything, they only made it difficult for him to think. He also admitted he hit his wife many times, but had never hit her in the past. His most import admission was he knew that hitting her was wrong.” I agree with the jury in that he committed second degree murder because unlike criminals with schizophrenia, Kapsik had a clear sense of what was right and wrong and that “the voices” didn’t tell him to kill his

    For Dena Schlosser, the issue of insanity was less clear. In Schlosser’s first trial, the jury ended up deadlocked as to whether or not Schlosser was legally insane under the Texas insanity defense law. Similarly, in the second trial, the defense and prosecution let the judge decide the verdict, which was not guilty by reason of insanity, and it was revealed that Schlosser had a brain tumor, which could have led to her religious delusions telling her to cut off her baby’s arms, fatally injuring the daughter (New York Times). In the simpler case of Deanna Laney, Laney suffered religious delusions that led her to crush her sons’ skull with rocks, and the expert witness, Park Dietz, said, “Laney didn’t realize her actions were wrong, which means she was legally insane under Texas Law” (NBC). All five psychiatric experts in the trial said Laney qualified as insane under the Texas due to a “severe mental illness [that] caused Laney to have psychotic delusions that rendered her incapable of knowing right from wrong during the killings” (USA TODAY).
