Discuss whether NGRI should be defined only by the cognitive prong, only by the volitional prong, a combination of cognitive and volitional prongs—be specific as possible and if you are referring to M’Naghten, Product test, ALI, ABA, Federal code, or something else.

2. Discuss whether NGRI should be defined only by the cognitive prong, only by the volitional prong, a combination of cognitive and volitional prongs—be specific as possible and if you are referring to M’Naghten, Product test, ALI, ABA, Federal code, or something else.

3. Describe how “mental disease and defect” are each defined (again be specific and in referring to the cases, code, standards we learned: M’Naghten, Product test, ALI, ABA, Federal code)
a. Address how the definition of what constitutes a “mental disease” is expanded or limited in the different case laws on NGRI and its implication.
4. Discuss two states that currently have different definitions of NGRI, find a recent case from each of the two states. (You may use the textbook or find new sources or both.) Would the outcome be the same or different if the NGRI statute for each of the two states was different? Discuss how the outcomes would be the same or different.
5. In the conclusion to your essay, provide your opinion as to whether there should be an NGRI defense or if it should be abolished (ensue you address society’s vs. individual’s rights), the NGRI definition you believe should be endorsed and how that supports or improves upon the NGRI defense.
