Does the insanity plea refer to the time that the crime was committed or to the time of sentencing?

Shouldn’t it have to apply to both? If a person was insane at the time of the crime then they should be let off, even if they now see that what they did was wrong. Alternatively, if the person committed the crime fully knowing it was wrong, but is now so delusional as to believe that it was proper or has lost memory of it, there does not seem to be any reason to convict.
