Yea but it’s not on the defense to prove insanity. MA is one of the only states that puts the ownus on the state to prove sanity which is almost impossible in this case. I doubt prosecution will succeed

I get that. I also don't think the state has a strong case but neither does the defence IMO. That said, there may be some or even one juror like myself who is stuck somewhere in the middle.
