Do you have a positive or negative view of people who are found not guilty by way of insanity?

Nightmares fs
idc if a woman cries about being abused in the past blah blah if she committed murder or harm to a child or anyone at all, then she should land in jail and spend YEARS maybe her LIFE in jail

[josephinelcajon]

They are still a very big problem

[OlderAndWiser]

If they are truly mentally ill (and they must be clearly mentally ill to be found not guilty by reason of insanity,) then they are pitiable.

She surely has been tried in court before decision. Which is her right as a citizen.

Insanity is a determining factor, especially in criminal liability. 1st, Considering, insanity, it differs for every person inflicted from this, the volition & awareness is the main aspect, provided with the applicable law.
Some may not be criminally liable, but are civilly liable. It is a case to case basis.

Usually one reason, not criminally liable, when the individual is incapable to distinguish the natural human awareness, due to the insanity.
However there are others who may be insane, but are functioning with complete awareness.
This is why it may be a case to case basis for insanity.

If she is not convicted then it is because of her incapacity to be in the real world due to her illness.

My view is neutral, all because with these cases we have to be discerning. I have taken law these may come up.

I don’t think my view is positive or negative. They do a lot of background checking before they come to terms of if someone is mentally insane , so personally if they aren’t put in jail they need to be put in a mental hospitals and mental hospitals can actually be entirely worse than jails. There’s a video on YouTube somewhere of someone breaking down Nikolas Cruz (school shooter) behaviors and they come to conclusions that he’s pretty much just a sociopath that thought he could get away with murder. It’s pretty interesting to watch

If they are deemed insane by a medical professional, then there is no positive or negative view you can have.

It's a pillar of law that you cannot prosecute those who have no mental capacity for control.

[Aerissa_Jade]

I am 100% okay with people getting the insanity plea and going into the state mental hospital until they get better, then they can stand trial.

That is how it actually should work, or at the very least they go into the state hospital for the rest of their lives... never to be let out.

[RolandCuthbert]

I don't understand a not guilty verdict. I think they should be found guilty, then sentenced. Then part of that sentencing is about them getting mental help.

[Anonymous]

I have neither a positive or negative view of these people. They are sick and in need of help. They are not in control of their actions any more than you can control a sneeze. It's not a conscious choice. It's a thing that happens to them.

[RationalMale]

The insanity defense is typically harder than you think. Because instead of the prosecutor having to prove you did it, YOU now have to prove you're insane and the burden shifted to you proving your case instead of just disproving theirs.

[DarkCarousel]

Their insanity doesn’t take away from the hurt that they caused their victims or the families of their victims.

[supercutebutt]

If she broke into Mar-a-Lago to make love to Trump's mushroom penis then she should be locked up for decades. That's crazy.

[EnglishEuropean]

Well they did what they did and society still needs to be protected from them. They're not responsible because they're crazy but that doesn't mean I'd invite them round for coffee.

[genericname85]

"not guilty due to insanity" doesn't mean you get away. you still go to prison. but to a special nut case prison.

[LegendaryIcon]

It'll be interesting to see if trump claims insanity, in his trials

[purplepoppy]

If it's genuine fair enough but I suspect many are coached by their lawyers to fake it.

[Babygirl_S]

Omg what did I see just before sleeping? Her face scares me.

[awkward_author]

I have a neutral attitude toward them.

[ChefPapiChulo]

is that dude coked out?

[Leonharted]

Neither. They can’t control their sanity.

[jimmy2]

I hear you its not right
