Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A possible outcome or disposition of a hearing or trial is not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI). The accused person is judged to not know right from wrong or to be unable to control his or her actions at the time of the crime. A defendant is found unfit to stand trial (UST) if, because of a mental or physical condition, he or she is unable to understand the nature and purpose of the proceedings or to assist in the defense. Guilty but mentally ill (GBMI) is a criminal conviction in which mental illness is considered a factor in the crime, but not to the extent that the individual is incapable of knowing right from wrong or controlling his or her actions.
