Explanation

M'Naghten's Rules (1843) established the legal test for criminal insanity - the defendant must not know the nature of the act or not know it was wrong due to disease of mind. Common intention requires prior meeting of minds (State v. K.M. Nanawati). Necessity/duress defense is in R v. Dudley & Stephens (the lifeboat cannibalism case). Grave and sudden provocation is in State v. K.M. Nanawati.
