Luigi Mangione is back in the news and his defense is saying that they're going to use a psychiatric defense in his murder case in New York.

Pop this up.

The Associated Press is reporting Luigi Mangione will assert a psychiatric defense

At his state murder trial and killing of United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson Judge says, here to discuss what a psychiatric defense is, is criminal defense attorney, Josh Welch.

Josh, what is a psychiatric defense?

So when it goes to trial, the defense actually has to prove something, like the prosecution has to prove that he did it beyond a reasonable doubt.

But in this type of defense, you have to put on your own case, correct?

Similar to what the prosecution is trying to prove, their set of facts.

So does the jury have to – can they reject that defense and then he's admitted that he's –

So as a criminal defense lawyer, if you know that the psychological soil with the American electorate, with a potential jury pool, is that these healthcare companies are denying people

cancer treatments are saying, I'm sorry, that's not covered by your insurance and that there is a real appetite in the electorate slash jury pool that these health care executives are killing people as a criminal defense attorney.

Is this a gamble that you are going to play into this trial?

Are you going to try to slip

that in?

Can you do that?

Because that's why this is so famous.

I mean, everybody on gay Twitter will say it's famous because he's hot and everybody hates healthcare companies.

But is that something that you're going to try to slip in as a criminal defense attorney all the time, the egregious denials for profit by these healthcare companies?
