RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Disposition of Insanity Acquittees in the United States Military JF Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law Online JO J Am Acad Psychiatry Law FD American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law SP 303 OP 309 VO 18 IS 3 A1 Lande, Raymond G. YR 1990 UL http://jaapl.org/content/18/3/303.abstract AB Recent amendments to the United States Code of Military Justice have essentially adopted the federal mental nonresponsibility rule or insanity defense. The prior standard, as outlined in the American Law Institute's Model Penal Code, has been abandoned. Notably absent is a system to address the disposition of the military insanity acquittee. This raises concerns regarding recidivism and the military's role in mitigating potential dangerousness. Relevant civilian and military law is reviewed, two cases described, and possible remedies proposed.
