As we all know, Jackson was one of the very best Baseball players of all time. However, we all know he was not a genius. So, going by what you stated, NOBODY should ever get by with an "insanity" plea!?!?!? Correct? I am not saying Jackson was "insane", just that with his intelligence and the hardships provided by people making fun of his intelligence, I could understand him wanting to "fit in" and not really thinking his actions were wrong at the time. People get light sentences all the time b/c of their intelligence in court! People also get lighter sentences acting on "impulse"!
