Nice you identify as a "conservative".JinnMartini » 22 Sep 2022, 7:22 pm » wrote: ↑ Sorry, being insane is no reason for leniency !
# 1 - anyone can claim to be insane !
# 2 - does it really matter to the crime they committed ?
#3 - shouldn't they have sought help BEFORE they committed a crime ?
#4 - what difference does it make to their victims ?
So someone rapes your 5-year-old daughter . . . does it really matter if he's really insane or not ?
Just be on the safe side and kill the guy !
Regarding your post, as to #1, anyone can claim anything; as to #3, seeking help is what sane people do, as to #2 and #4,
moral wrong is an inherited foundation of American criminal law, consciousness of wrong is part of that foundation, and legal insanity means that understanding is missing. These are things any real conservative would know and defend.
