In 1978, San Francisco was rocked by the murder of two of its top elected officials, Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. The two were assassinated by a fellow elected official named Dan White. The case became famous for a number of reasons and was closely watched by media and the public alike. During the trial, Dan White's attorneys mounted evidence to support the insanity defense, saying that White suffered from manic depression (now know as bipolar disorder) which was exacerbated by eating junk food. This became know as the "twinkie defense". Given this very limited example of the insanity defense, do you think there was enough evidence to support the insanity defense for Dan White? What do you think of this as an option for those that have committed a crime?Do you feel the insanity plea should be thrown out of the legal justice system or do you think it should remain? Do you feel those who successfully use the insanity defense have been able to simply get away with murder? What alternative option would you suggest
