Question

Which insanity standard states that if defendants know that what they were doing was wrong, but they could not help themselves, or if they were unable to control their actions, then they may not be held accountable for their offense?

Answer 1

Answer: It is called irresistible impulse standard.

Step-by-step explanation:

In criminal law, irresistible impulse is a defense by excuse, in this case some sort of insanity, in which the individual states that they should not be held criminally responsible for their actions that broke the law, because they were not able to control those actions, even if they knew them to be wrong.
