    I’m not a lawyer (but I do watch Legal Eagle!). I think the person would need to be declared “mentally incompetent” first. The laws for that vary from state to state. My guess is that yes it’s possible, but easier said than done.

    If one has the mental fortitude to plead, then possibly either:

    1. The court would reject it because the judge would be confident the person was lying. Or,

    2. The person would be sent for psychological evaluation, and if the person was deemed unfit to stand trial, they would continue to remain in a psychiatric hospital until such time that they are not deemed a threat to themself or to others.
