Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(1) Guilty;
(2) Not guilty;
(3) Not guilty by reason of insanity at the time of the offense; or (4) Guilty but mentally ill at the time of the offense.
