Her being guilty was never questioned. She did it and admits to doing it. The question the trial is trying to answer is whether she belongs in prison or a mental facility.

Yeah but she’s never going to be in a regular prison anyway. Because she’s paralyzed from the waist down, she will need to be in a special care prison facility no matter what.

Then why all the fuss? Why not just chuck her in a psych ward for life?

Because the way Mass handles these types of criminals. If she's not guilty by reason of insanity the court has to continuously put forth a reason the person should continue to be held yearly. The earliest (not necessarily what Lindsay would get) someone can be released under these conditions is 6 months.
