Legislation Would End Innocent Insanity Pleas In Illinois
Chicago report says lawmakers will introduce a bill to replace the insanity plea with guilty but mentally ill. If convicted under the new terms, offenders would go to a mental institution for treatment and, once sane, to prison for remaining sentence.
