What is the test for sanity in a criminal case?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. White, 895 F.2d 1419 (9th Cir. 1990):
Once the defendant has introduced sufficient expert testimony to support a reasonable doubt as to sanity, the government must: (1) introduce its own expert testimony in rebuttal; or (2) discredit the defendant's expert testimony on cross-examination; or (3) rely upon evidence from which the jury may infer that the defendant's expert testimony depends upon an incorrect view of the facts.
United States v. McGraw, 515 F.2d 758, 760
