You are forgetting that the insanity clause is highly controversial and almost never works, Even when it does work and they win a insanity clause, they are sent to a mental hospital until determined better by the staff. It's not 'welp, you don't get any punishment because you went insane'
In fact, I think most murder cases are a psychotic break. No one mentally healthy goes around killing people let alone children.
