The definition of legally sane is basically did she know here actions were wrong, and can she help in her own defense.
Not very high standards, which is why so few cases are decided by a plea of insanity. (Not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect).

Jurors rejected Yates' insanity defense in March 2002 and found her guilty
of capital murder for the June 20, 2001, drownings of three of her five
children
How on earth can they rule her sane?????
