NGRI

Read a random definition: jus actionis

A quick definition of NGRI:

NGRI: NGRI stands for "not guilty by reason of insanity." This means that a person who is accused of a crime can say that they did not do it because they were not in their right mind when they did it. If a judge or jury agrees, the person will not be found guilty of the crime, but they may be sent to a mental hospital instead of prison. NGRI is a special defense that can only be used in certain cases where the person's mental health played a big role in the crime they are accused of.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: NGRI stands for "not guilty by reason of insanity." It is a plea or verdict in a criminal case where the defendant is found not guilty because they were legally insane at the time of the crime.

For example, if someone with a severe mental illness commits a crime, they may plead NGRI. If the court agrees that they were not in their right mind when they committed the crime, they may be sent to a mental institution instead of prison.

NGRI is different from a regular not guilty plea or verdict, where the defendant is found not guilty because the prosecution did not prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Overall, NGRI is a legal defense that can be used in certain cases where the defendant's mental state at the time of the crime is a significant factor.
