Section 15-16-1 Defense of insanity to be by special plea. When the defense of insanity is set up in any criminal prosecution, it must be by special plea, interposed at the time of arraignment and entered of record upon the docket of the court, which, in substance, shall be "not guilty by reason of insanity." A plea of insanity shall not preclude the usual plea of the general issue, which shall not, however, put in issue the question of the irresponsibility of the accused by reason of his alleged insanity, this question being triable only under the special plea. (Code 1896, §4939; Code 1907, §7176; Code 1923, §4573; Code 1940, T. 15, §423.)...

Section 31-2A-2 (Article 2.) Persons subject to this code; jurisdiction. (a) This code applies to all members of the state military forces at all times and in all places, except it does not apply to a member for any offenses committed while in a duty status under Title 10 U.S.C. (b) Subject matter jurisdiction is established if a clear and convincing nexus exists between an offense, either military or non-military, and the state military force. When a member is in a duty status under either Title 32 U.S.C. or State Active Duty then a rebuttable presumption exists that the nexus is established. A proper civilian court has primary jurisdiction of an offense when an act or omission violates both this code and civilian criminal law, foreign or domestic. In such a case, a court-martial may be initiated only after the civilian prosecutorial authority has declined to prosecute or dismissed the charge, provided jeopardy has not attached. Courts-martial shall have primary jurisdiction over all...
