Is Jerry Sane Or Insane

“Ladies and gentleman, today we are here for the case of Jerry to prove if he’s insane or sane.” I was nervous because this would be my first case. Jerry had killed bob who he said he liked. Jerry is saying that he is sane and not insane. I believe that Jerry is legally insane and I’m ready to prove my case. I did not think that something this important would be my first case. I was chosen for the case ,since they thought I was the right person for it. “Ladies and gentleman, we will be hearing the case for Jerry that proves he is insane.” said Judge Fudge. “Mr. Johnson if you will present your case.” said Judge Fudge. “Yes Mr. Fudge I will,” I said. Ladies and gentleman I am here to try to prove that Jerry is insane. The legal definition of insanity states, “Insanity is a mental illness of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot manage his/her own affairs, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior”(USlegal.com). According to the confession of Jerry, “The disease had sharpened my senses--not destroyed--not dulled them”(Pg.1). I believe that the disease did more than just what Jerry is saying. Jerry stated that Bob had done nothing to him, but it was his eye that he disliked. He explained it to be an eye of a vulture. Jerry says that the disease sharpened his sense, but I disagree with that.
If he were sane then why would he confess his own murder. He came up with the perfect plan and he had executed the plan more perfectly than he had thought he would. Why would a sane man confess his own murder. According to Jerry’s confession, “You should have seen how wisely I proceeded--with what caution--with what foresight--with what dissimulation I work!”(Pg.1). Jerry then continued to tell how he pulled of his perfect plan to kill the old man. He even says that he had the officers convinced. Why would Jerry confess his crime if he had pulled it
