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.
