Answer #1

well there is a chance of he getting acquitted and can take the defence of insanity but the insanity has to be legal insanity and not mental insanity. though if he has committed the acts under the influence of insanity court generally acquits the person keeping in mind all the facts of the case

Answer #2

Yes…insanity is a valid ground for not getting convicted for an offence. If you have got all the documents and it’s valid and pertains to the time period on which the incident took place then you can always take the plea of insanity in the court. And if he/she is a student will add to innocence. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.
