Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Ike planned for weeks how he would kill the children, it suggests that he was capable of understanding the wrongfulness of his actions. Therefore, the insanity defense failed. Option A is incorrect because the fact that he planned for weeks suggests he had a serious psychological problem. Option B is incorrect because he clearly met the dysfunction criterion, as his thoughts and behaviors were negatively affecting his life. Option C is also incorrect because the description of Ike's symptoms suggests a psychological problem rather than a medical problem.
