作者研究了巴尔的摩市高级审判法院在12个月内以精神错乱为由提出无罪抗辩的所有被告的队列。在此期间，在被起诉的11,497名被告中，有143人(1.2%)表示不承担刑事责任。其中14名被告(10%)后来因精神错乱而被判无罪。作者发现，控方和辩方之间有明显的一致性，只有两起案件导致了全面审判，其中辩论了精神错乱的问题。评估医生对刑事责任和Axis I诊断的意见，以及最严重的基本指控在那些因精神错乱而被判无罪的被告和那些被法院认定有罪或无罪的被告之间存在歧视。其他人口统计因素，如年龄、受抚养人数量、教育水平、疾病严重程度和犯罪背景，在两组之间没有区别。
The authors examined the cohort of all defendants pleading not guilty by reason of insanity over a 12-month period in Baltimore City's superior trial court. During that time, 143 of the 11,497 defendants indicted (1.2%) pled not criminally responsible. Fourteen of those defendants (10%) were subsequently found not guilty by reason of insanity. The authors found marked agreement between the prosecution and defense with only two cases leading to full trials where the issue of insanity was argued. The evaluating physician's opinion as to criminal responsibility and Axis I diagnosis, and the most serious underlying charge discriminated between those defendants found not guilty by reason of insanity and those defendants found guilty or not guilty by the court. Other demographic factors such as age, number of dependents, educational level, severity of illness, and criminal background did not discriminate between the two groups.
