7-28-09 State v. Winder (A-34-08)

In this first-degree murder case, the trial court properly
denied defendant’s request for a tailoring of the model jury
charge on insanity to explain to the jury that a criminally
insane person may be capable of comprehending that an act is
legally wrong while not understanding it to be morally wrong.
