Dateline NBC · What's next for Lindsay Clancy? A teen's murder on cruise ship. Plus, does the insanity defense work? · 10 Sep 2026 podcast

And how do you prove to a jury what was going on in someone's mind at the time of a crime? voice-verified

We asked our friend, defense attorney and NBC News legal analyst, Danny Savalos, to break it down for us. voice-verified

Hey Danny. voice-verified

So we are so used to talking about trials that involve evidence, forensics, timelines, facts, you know, debating whether someone is insane or not is something entirely different. voice-verified

Danny, where do you even start? voice-verified

What is the standard of proof in a courtroom when we're talking about this? voice-verified

Danny, we know that in criminal cases a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. voice-verified

So how does the the burden of proof work when it comes to insanity? voice-verified

I this is gonna sound silly, but is a person sane until proven insane? voice-verified

Well, it almost sounds subjective, you know, depending on where you are or what kind of court you're in. voice-verified

All right, I know that there's no like real like stats on this, but anecdotally, how often does the insanity defense work? voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

I mean, you know, you think, oh, it it feels lighter maybe if they're found guilty by reason of insanity, but they are still locked up. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

I mean, Andrea Yates, she drowned her five children after she said she heard a voice telling her to do it. voice-verified

At her second trial, a jury found her not guilty by reason of insanity, and she is still in the mental institution. voice-verified

But in a twist, she actually didn't want to leave. voice-verified

With regards to Andrea, the jury finding her not guilty by reason of insanity, why do you think the jury went with that verdict in her case? voice-verified

So similar to Lindsay Clancy. voice-verified

Thank you so much for your insight into this. voice-verified
