Doc, you're arguing with people who think punishment and justice mean the same thing.
Who think that mental illness is terminal and you can never get better, so therefore if a doctor says you are better, you obviously faked it.
Who can't understand that if judgement is impaired by drugs or alcohol that was a choice where mental illness wasn't, thus different legal implications.
Even some who think Judges should be elected by popularity rather than appointed because of proven law skills.
I'll settle that one of them admits he's not lawyer, but....
So then if you suffer from Psychosis to the point where you think people are aliens, they probably should not live on their own. For their safety and ours.
Drunk driving ends in jail time, as does going on a drug fueled crime spree. But mental illness, according to you should be given a free pass, Drug and Alcohol addictions can be overcome, mental illness not so much.
Psychosis is not something two pills and a call to the doctor in the morning will fix, its pretty life long. I think the NCR should be treated as the accused needs life long monitoring and treatment, especially when you saw a young man's head off and eat parts of the corpse.
