not guilty by reason of temporary insanity.
I'm leery of something like this, as it throws you upon the mercy of the judge and could get you thrown into the nuthouse as it would be up to him to decide if you could go back into society without having another "temporary" bout of insanity.
Maybe if you knew that you had a based judge with a spine, but if the guy in the post had tried this with a squish judge then he might have been doing life in a rubber room instead of 13 years in the clink.
13 years does seem extremely excessive, so I suspect a squish judge FWIW.
