Rockefeller's real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter.
Defense lawyers say he descended into "pure madness" when he kidnapped his 7-year-old daughter during a supervised visit in Boston last July. Father and daughter were found in Baltimore six days later. The girl was unharmed.
A prosecutor called Gerhartsreiter's insanity claim "preposterous" and said he was a master manipulator who planned the kidnapping and knew it was wrong.
