Almost certainly not. The statute for an insanity defense is extremely, extremely high. This isn’t the same as a murder trial or anything, but the standards a defendant needs to meet are usually at a level that would preclude the individual from being able to function in society, something Holmes has done quite well. Moreover, the government would really only need to be able to successfully argue/show examples where Holmes did, for example, know the difference between right and wrong. My guess — and I’m not a lawyer — is that her lawyers are hoping to make this a mitigating factor as part of sentencing.
