I was watching the news tonight and they were talking to a legal analyst or something of that nature. He said (I think, it was a few hours ago) that Malvo isn't pleading insanity, but rather trying to get sympathy from the jury or jury nullification, which allows juries to return a verdict of "not guilty" even when they believe the defendant was guilty of the crime (it's usually used for unfair laws). OR he may have said that Malvo is pleading insanity and while the defense isn't counting on that getting him acquitted, they are hoping to get sympathy or a nullification.
It's one of those two...
