| i feel that insanity is a highly used excuse. if they are mentally ill, there are facilities for that. if they are not in one, and they do something, thier condition should have no sway in the trial. i mean, anyone can act mental, say "God made me do it" which is stupid on so many levels, but thats beside the point. the point is, if you can get off on insanity, what will keep others from tryin it? lock em up, they can get thier therapy in jail, where they cant hurt anymore people. bottom line, insanity is no excuse for ANYTHING like that |
