[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 506915, member: 11791"] Does the US not have the concept of "not guilty by reason of insanity"? It doesn't matter if the insanity is from an illness like schitzophrenia, or a bad medications reaction, or PTSD, or dementia, or drug abuse, or anything else that can induce insanity. You're insane, or you're not. If you're not insane, you stand trial. If you are insane, you get locked up in psychiatric hospital. where they try to help you, if possible. Of course, some don't have the right lawyer to plead that cause... not everyone gets what they deserve. But in general, it is a fair concept. [/QUOTE]
