Not guilty by reason of insanity is a legal defense of murder. The acquittal of such an act is based on the court finding that the crime was due to the defendant's mental illness and not to criminal intent. The author presents characteristic case histories, as seen by him in the role of expert witness, that may serve as paradigms when the doctrine "not guilty by reason of insanity" is an appropriate defense.
因精神错乱而无罪是一种针对谋杀指控的法律抗辩。此类行为被宣告无罪是基于法庭认定该罪行是由被告的精神疾病所致，而非出于犯罪意图。作者呈现了一些典型的病例史，这些都是他以专家证人的身份所目睹的，当“因精神错乱而无罪”这一原则成为恰当的抗辩理由时，它们可作为范例。
