Insanity is a very hard case to prove. There are few cases when it should actually be used. That said - lawyers will use it because that is part of their job - to free their clients.
If your guilty of murder, either legally insane or not, your ass should do a life sentence (or the death penalty - depending on where you live).
For those that are against the death penalty - why spend 10s of thousands (a year) to keep him/her alive?
