State v. LeRoya M.

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions for two murders, holding that the trial court reasonably rejected her insanity defense. The trial court was entitled to credit the state’s expert and other evidence indicating that the defendant’s conduct was organized, deliberate, and inconsistent with a psychotic religious delusion, while discounting the defense expert’s contrary opinion. The court concluded that the rejection of the defense expert’s testimony was not arbitrary.
