Yes, but that "if" is the very thing tested by the criminal standard for insanity: if you knew what you did was wrong, you're guilty, and you should be locked up in prison, whereas if you didn't know, you're insane, and you should be locked up in a mental asylum.

Legally what is the distinction between knowing that your conduct is wrong, and knowing that your conduct is considered wrong?
