The use of insanity defense how common how successful?

It is actually used quite often and it is almost never successful. The McNaughten Rule, the basis for any insanity defense, states that a person cannot be held accountable if they were so insane at the time of the crime that they didn't know right from wrong. The reason it is almost never successful is because most people that are that insane may hurt themselves but rarely harm others. Or they are institutionalized long before they can hurt someone else. Of course there are always exceptions. Andrea Yates, the Texas housewife that drowned all 5 of her young children in the bathtub is one of the rare exceptions mentioned. There is also an 'insane by guilty' catagory. You can be insane but still make a rational decision to kill another. Sometimes this is the case. But for the most part, the insanity defense is a defense attorney's last resort.

How many Americans have been found not guilty by reason of insanity?

Usually, a defendant will need to have a complete mental evaluation as a first step in his insanity defense. Psychiatrists or psychologists will likely take the stand and testify about the defendant's likely state of mind at the time of the offense. However, even these professionals cannot decide whether or not a defendant is insane because, as discussed above, insanity is a legal term when used as a criminal defense. Therefore, the jury or judge will decide whether the testimony and evidence support a finding of criminal insanity. Research shows people in treatment for a mental illness are no more violent or dangerous than the the general population. In Sensationalizing Murder and Mental Health John M. Grohol, Psy.D. states, " ... there is virtually no correlation between increased violence risk and mental illness (except in the case of substance abusers)."
