Explain it because, and I don't mean to be rude, but that has to be one of the most stupid leaps in logic I have ever heard.

Honest question, but from a legal definition, are "innocent" and "not criminally responsible" used interchangeably?
I admit it, have have trouble considering him "innocent" even if I agree that it's up to the experts to decide if he is actually criminally responsible.
