prosecutor needs to prove 2 things in every crim case: actus reus (act) and mens rea (state of mind). unless it's a strict liability crime (does not require a guilty mind, just voluntary action), you may allege it to show legal insanity showing you are not culpable.

Saying you're not guilty by reason of temporary insanity will be met by a response of "bull....!"
Now, prove you are insane and instead of being sentenced to proson you might get time in a mental hospital.
