is DR only applicable to insanity plea's or are there other scenarios where it can be used? (I am starting A-Level Law in a few months, no education yet so could be stupid question)
DR is only available as a defence to murder. It is a different defence to insanity, which can be a defence to other crimes (not just murder). If you watch my insanity video, this might make it clearer for you.
Thank you very well put
