The "guilty but mentally ill" defense is an alternative to "not guilty by reason of insanity" in some U.S. states. This defense allows for the defendant to be found guilty of the crime, but also acknowledges that they were mentally ill at the time of the offense. This can result in the defendant being sent to a mental health facility for treatment, rather than a prison. The other choices are not alternatives to "not guilty by reason of insanity." The ALI rule is a set of guidelines for determining legal insanity, the irresistible impulse rule is a criteria for insanity in some states, and diminished capacity is a defense that argues the defendant lacked the ability to form the specific intent required for the crime.
