The narrator from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat", by deciding to plea "not guilty due to insanity", is doing something many people charged with murder do: blaming their own acts on a certain "demonic" mindset, which can be caused by evil spirits or even drugs (legal or illegal). The narrator has a history of alcohol abuse, which, according to his own testimony throughout the short story, led him to cut one of his cat's eyes out of its socket. He'd also been violent to his wife, not only verbally, and said he'd committed violent acts precisely because of their malignant essence. This man is no good. Therefore, there's no point in validating his plea of "not guilty due to insanity" and he should indeed be charged with murder. After all, he killed his wife with the strike of an axe upon her head, just because she wanted to stop him from killing their cat. As the narrator admits, he was then possessed by unstoppable anger, and that's not a reason for claiming to have done anything due to insanity at all.

Here is an example from one of the founders of Shadow Poetry, Marie Summers:
Answer: She never said, Call the police. Neither did she sound genuinely threatened. Her demands were just. LET ME IN LET ME IN. She covered the peep-hole. I peeped out my window. I didn’t see the male but I heard him talking in a low voice. However, I saw a glimpse of her on my porch. She had on all black. I DID NOT open the door. I called the police. And as quickly as the commotion began, when they realized I wasn’t going to open the door, they disappeared into the night and it was dead silence again.
