Skilled Attorneys in Mental Status Defense Cases
If a person commits a crime while suffering from a permanent or temporary mental condition, the argument can be made under Connecticut law the he or she is not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. Referred to commonly as the insanity defense, this is a legitimate legal strategy in many cases, but the legal issues involved can be extremely complex.
