Me and my friend were discussing temporary insanity a few days ago and I wanted to know what you guys (Especially Amber/CrimGoddess) thinks about it. But here are my views on it.
So here's the situation we were discussing. Like is temporary insanity a reasonable excuse for killing someone. I said "Yes" IN SOME CASES. Like okay so say you are with someone and you get really pissed off and stab them RIGHT THEN and RIGHT THERE because you are just SO ANGRY. That can be temporary insanity, I would agree with that in a court of law. Same thing if you got angry and shot someone...RIGHT THEN and RIGHT THERE.
Now, some people claim temporary insanity after they strangle someone. I don't believe that you can go insane for enough time that it takes to strangle someone because you actually SEE Them dying before your eyes and you have many chances to stop what you are doing and think about it. Also I don't believe that like say something BAD happens to you TODAY that really pisses you off and then tomorrow you go and shoot that person. That's NOT Temporary insanity that's premeditated. Anyone who is going to pull that kind of sh*t is riding on a Twinkie defense.
So what do you guys think? Is there such a thing as temporary insanity? I mean I can totally see getting SO MAD for just like 10 seconds that you do something stupid and kill a person, but anything after that is NOT Temporary Insanity.
