No mens rea is no criminal intent and he couldnāt have criminal intent because he was deemed insane. However, the state still had to prove he shot her or he would have been simply NG instead of NGI.
He is not guilty of a crime. He still shot her, twice.
What is your point or did you just want to bluster a bit?

The jury determined that he not only had the āmental stateā to commit the crime of attempting to murder LK, but that he did in fact commit the crime of attempting to murder LK. Luckily for MB, they also determined that based on his mental capacity at the time of the shooting, he is not legally responsible for the crime that they determined he committed, which was attempted murder. Despite what anyone wants to believe, the jury did find that he attempted to murder LK. They would not have gotten to the point where they were able to make a determination about his mental state if they hadnāt first determined that he was guilty of attempted murder in the LK charge.
I know the haters are going to come out of the woodwork anyway, but I have to say I think the jury got it right. Guilty and Not Guilty would have been equally inappropriate in this case.

Nope. You need to go back to law school. Also, please prove to me that they found he was guilty.

No, not new at all. Iāve been here for over 2.5 years I just possess the ability to scroll by and not force my opinions on people. You should try it. Iām not perfect but I at least try.
Your posts are redundant and you harass a lot of posters. I wonāt be going back to prove my point and argue with you about it tho. It seems like you just like to argue and thatās boring to me.

I think the argument against your point revolves around where you said that MB didnāt have the means to commit the crime. That is incorrect; the jury determined that he did in fact commit the crime of attempted murder, but that he was not guilty of committing that crime because they determined that he was insane at a the time that he committed the crime. So we all agree that MB was found to be not guilty, but some here are ignoring that the next part of the verdict, āby reason of insanityā, means that he did in fact COMMIT the crime, but he could not be HELD ACCOUNTABLE for it because he was insane. You canāt just leave off the last part of the verdict and pretend that MB was found to be not guilty on all counts; thatās completely disingenuous. Words matter, thatās all.

You can fixate on technical definitions if you want to. But in the court of public opinion? Theyāre squatters. Even Dr Simring referred to them as squatters while on the stand.

Iāve never heard of you before but go ahead and keep thinking youāre either laying low and staying out of the fray or making a difference and gaining points by telling me what to do here depending on whatever is going on in your little mind at any given time lol

Guilty mind is an essential element of the crime. Again, retake the bar exam.

I should have known based on your posts that you arenāt capable of understanding what the judge told the jury before they started deliberation. Maybe you and KurPlexed could have a playdate; I think you two would hit it off.

Ah yes, itās required on these threads to be mean to LK, her family, and those who donāt worship MB, but anyone who doesnāt fall into those categories gets accused of trying to shut down the thread. What a bunch of snowflakes.
