NGRI plea
Does the defendant have to inter an NGRI plea before the jury or is the notice file enough? The defendant only pled NG before jury.

Insanity is an affirmative defense.

A defendant pleads guilty, no contest or not guilty.

Thanks! I knew that - just over thinking. Always worried about ineffective from defense.
