George killed his two children because he believed he heard voices telling him that if he did not kill them, his neighbor would. His defense attorney argued that due to George's insanity at the time of the crime, George should not be held responsible for the crime and should thus be acquitted of the crime. Which of the following best describes the plea that George's defense attorney made? a. Not Guilty but Mentally Ill
b. The Durham test
c. Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity
d. Guilty But Mentally Insane

The option which best describes the plea that George's defense attorney made is:

C. Not guilty by reason of insanity

Explanation:

What George's attorney is doing is he is admitting that George did kill his children but, while doing that, he was incapacitated or mentally disturbed. That means he cannot be held responsible and seen as guilty, since he did not have the intention of committing a crime. By definition, this plea is consistent with "not guilty by reason of insanity".
