They must be running low on good defensive options. As a non-expert, it kind of looks like the only mental disease she could possibly claim would be some variant of sociopathy, and I don’t think sociopaths get to use their disease as an excuse during criminal trials.

It’s their job to zealously defend her, as distasteful as I find her behavior to have been, and the defense is what the defense must be. But yeah, they must not have much else available if they’re going for the insanity plea.
