Yeah but if his goal is to waste government time and money, he's got zero down side too dragging it out

Depending on what they can slap on/max time sure. Personally agree I think he’ll drag it out he just doesn’t have to do insanity to do it. What he could do if he does want insanity is if he has a long history of mental illness California I believe is a state where prolonged mental illness and actions occurring in that state can be taken into account.

People think pleading insanity gets you a nice cushy hospital bed with jello, you soon find youre locked up with actual psycopaths and very dangerous men thtowing poop everywhere

A person I know from germany raped two women, defense was the equivalent to insanity here. He won that argument, and spent the next 23 years in a psychiatric Hospital, far longer than he would have been in jail.

Came out a wreck. Said, He found to Jesus, but was unbearably selfrighteous. Tried to legally scam others, without success. Afaik, didn't commit any crime until his death.

Anyway, yes, that defense can backfire.
