Mental Illness & Criminal Responsibility: Navigating Legal Complexities Brooklyn NY

Mental illness profoundly impacts criminal cases. As an experienced criminal lawyer, I understand the delicate balance of mental illness and criminal responsibility.
The statistics are stark: nearly 40% of incarcerated individuals have a diagnosed mental illness, significantly higher than the general population. This intersection creates immense legal complexities.
The "insanity defense," often misunderstood, is extremely rare; it's used in less than 1% of felony cases and successful in only a fraction of those. More common is evaluating a defendant's competency to stand trial – their ability to understand charges and assist counsel.
Navigating these cases requires specialized criminal defense. Defendants with mental illness often face longer sentences and higher recidivism rates if not properly treated. Understanding the legal nuances is critical for just outcomes.
