We thought that a not guilty verdict was the only fair decision.

If there's not (a guilty verdict,) I'd be surprised.

We'll leave out whether he got a fair verdict or not,

The first problem with an insanity defense is you're admitting what you did. It's not a defense that's ever employed with relish. It's difficult to persuade jurors of a lack of criminal responsibility unless you have someone who meets the stereotype of mental illness.

When hatred judges, the verdict is just guilty.

It is not a fair comparison.
