This is highly subjective as being totally dependant upon the interpretation of the Doctor evaluating that person.
One Dr. may say crazy and another may say not.
The only way that I could consider a not guilty verdict for insanity would be if the person had a long history of insanity prior to the crime.
Being crazy at the "Moment" just does not cut it.
WHY?
Because we have all been to that point and we don't commit some crime over it.

Every one knows right from wrong !
There is no excuse when a criminal says I was momentarily out of my mind or I do not remember what happened.

My take on it is that unless you've ever suffered from a mental illness, you have no idea what it's like.
