To establish the defense of
insanity, it must be shown that:
(1) At the time of the commission of the offense, as a
result of mental disease or defect, the mind of the actor was
affected to such an extent that:
(a) He or she was unable to perceive the nature and quality
of the act with which he or she is charged; or
(b) He or she was unable to tell right from wrong with
reference to the particular act charged.
(2) The defense of insanity must be established by a
preponderance of the evidence.
