What are the most controversial not guilty by reasons of insanity cases for the insanity defenses?

So far I have:





John W. Hinckley - Depression


Andrea Yates - Psychosis (loss of contact with reality)


Andrew Goldstein - Schizophrenia


Debra Jean Beasley - Bipolar


Daniel M'Naghten - Paranoid Delusions


Lisa M. Montgomery - Pseudocyesis (causes women to falsely believe she is pregnant %26amp; exhibit outward signs of pregnant)





If anyone else has any suggestions it would be great appreciated.What are the most controversial not guilty by reasons of insanity cases for the insanity defenses?
While I am not familiar with a few of those the Andrea Yates one really irks me. Remember that was her second trial....first time she was found guilty.





There were IMO clear signs of premeditation with that case.What are the most controversial not guilty by reasons of insanity cases for the insanity defenses?
