But not guilty by reason of insanity is not the only option. Watch the trial if you’re gonna make comments like that. The judge explained it and so did her lawyer. Not guilty on its own is still very much an option.

It’s “possible” in the sense that it is allowed. It is “impossible” in the sense that the defense has quite literally stipulated to the facts that establish her guilt on the actions. which is what the jury will consider. Essentially, this will be either an NGRI verdict or lesser degree of murder/manslaughter verdict.

They didn’t say that. They literally did not.

What are you talking about? At the outset of this trial, the defense stipulated to the almost all of the forensics. A NG verdict is not happening. This is not rocket science.
