Zack Pled Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity to Killing

question 30

Multiple Choice

Zack pled not guilty by reason of insanity to killing his parents and his brother. He was arrested after their deaths while walking down the street covered in dried blood and not wearing any clothes. He had always been an introvert, and people used to call him names and say that he was crazy. Over couple of years leading up to the murders, Zack had a lot of blackout-type situations where he found himself somewhere unfamiliar doing something strange and didn't remember the days before he got there. Zack then spent the better part of two years in a locked psychiatric facility awaiting trial. At Zack's trial, the prosecution opens their questions by calling on the cleaning lady who found the dead bodies. She tells the court that Zack has always been a demon child and there was always something wrong with him. The judge instructs the jury not to listen to the explanation of who Zack was and how he behaved because:

• A) she is not an expert in cleaning up blood.
• B) her testimony was not fact but her opinion.
• C) her opinion boosts the prosecution's case.
• D) the defense has already entered a directed verdict.
