State v. LeRoya M.
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction of two counts of murder, holding that Defendant was entitled to relief on her argument that no rational finder of fact reasonably could have rejected her insanity defense on the present factual records.
Specifically, the Supreme Court held that the trier of fact reasonably credited the State's expert testimony presented to rebut Defendant's insanity defense that, at the time Defendant murdered her two children, she was not suffering from a mental disease or defect, was able to appreciate the wrongfulness of her conduct, and was able to conform her conduct to the requirements of law.
