Insanity Test Debate Sparks House Split
The House voted 26 to 112 to table a motion as at least 20 representatives including Caldwell rushed the speaker’s rostrum to switch votes. A proposed insanity defense amendment failed 17 to 14 in the Senate last week, with Rep Hoestenbach arguing it would enable a 10 minute cooling off fit and excuse killings. Rep Washington countered the test requires a mental disease or defect and inability to conform conduct to law.
