That lawyer has that look like "WHY THE **** ME??". I bet they drew straws to see who would represent him and she lost...lol

Premeditation really has nothing to do with the insanity defense. The insanity defense is all about one knowing whether one's actions are right or wrong. You can get your morals mixed up in a premeditated way. Or, put differently, you can be both premeditated and insane in your actions.
