Insanity as a Defense in Stanford White Killing Trial
The defense in Hal K. Phaw’s trial for Stanford White’s death concentrates on insanity especially insane delusion. It outlines New York law requiring inability to know the nature and quality of the act or that it was wrong, and explains how partial insanity and irresistible impulse may affect criminal responsibility. The piece contrasts New York rules with other states and notes the jury must assess sanity beyond a reasonable doubt if insanity evidence is introduced.

Insanity Defense in New York Murder Law
The text outlines how irresistible impulse and genuine insanity affect murder charges in New York. It explains that mere emotional insanity is not a defense unless the defendant lacked knowledge of the act or its wrongness, and that genuine insanity at the time of the homicide can exonerate if proven to prevent understanding of the act or its wrongness, with Thaw cited as a potential innocent if insanity or delusion existed.
