More details to this question:
Hello, I was just wanting information on how to write a letter to the Prosecuting Attorney. On a Public Intoxication charge a class b misdemeanor and a criminal mischief charge another class b misdemeanor. I was wondering how could I go about pleading temporary insanity because I was having a really good day and just made some bad decisions. A sample letter would be beneficial. I would like to stay out of jail and no probation, but instead do some community service, take an alcohol class and pay some fines if that is possible. Thanks.

If you really plead temporary insanity then if that is found to be true; you are sent for at least 60 days for observation to a mental institution to see if you a danger to yourself or others. You should get a lawyer instead.

You cannot just write a letter to plea temporary insanity. It is a technical defense that requires medical and legal opinions. If you want to fight the charges, than retain a local criminal defense attorney.

Hire an attorney. I am not writing you any "sample" letter when I do not know the facts of your case.
