That all depends where he went on the rampage. Was it in a high end snooty store or the food court?

I think the real question is, should cluelesshusband learn how to spell? Or shouldn't he.

Nonsinse His spellin wus impeckable. Dont be rediculous

 

What the fuck is a "brane tumer"?:shrug:

 

PS
I dont fully understan why... but i do realize that the above isssue is dificult for som people to discuss.!!!

 

Depends, does he remember killing them ?
To do such an act requires planning. Planning requires mental stability to a certain extent.

Impulse crimes tend to be more mentally related.

 

oK... say he remenbers bein aware that he was killin people... but he also remenbers thankin they was tryin to kill him... shud he go to prison even tho the brane tumer caused him to feel in mortal danger... an he was completely bak to normal after the tumer was removed.???

 

does it matter that much? it would be unfortunate having a tumor but laws are made to protect people. there should be better facilities for criminally\medically insane people of course then people would just find loopholes to have them released and how can anyone be sure that the tumor alone was solely responsible?

 

It woud mos likely mater to the person who had the tumer... but that ant the issue.!!!

What kind of law woud have protected those people at the mall from bein killed.???

oK... in this case its a fact that the tumor alone was the sole cause... shud the person go to prison.???

 

Clueluss, do you have to work at writing the way you do? Your topic is interesting, but must we wade through the completely moronic spelling?

Anyway, assuming the case you are hypothesizing were true, I believe that the defendant would be found innocent by reason of "mental defect or deficiency". This is already an accepted defense in most civilized countries...

 

One can argue that any act of murder (not justifiable) is not the action of a sane person. It can be temporary insanity, as in a crime of passion as well. Just as being under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not a defense against criminal behavior.

We can surmise that a brain acting under the influence of a controlled substance is defective.

 

No an no.!!!

ok... i wasnt clear about that... i guess i was kinda thankin that after a person is cured of ther mental illness they still mite have to do prison time for a crime they comited while bein insane.!!!

 

We can surmise and argue all we want. However, willful ingestion of psychotropic controlled substances is not currently a valid defense in a court of law, at least in the US.

 

That is what i am saying.

 

Ah... "willful"... ther-in lyes the rub.!!!

An we have com a long way in our understandin that bein "mentaly-impared" is not necesarly willful.!!!

The mor aware we are of the causes that lead up to a crime... the mor likely we are to be forgivin.!!!

I contend that somone killin a person while robbin a bank is no mor deservin of punishment than a guy who instently bashes in the skull of his nabor who he finds on top of his wife... its jus that we can beter relate to the crime of passon an will be mor forgivin... but nether killer deserves punishment.!!!

 

I would love to reply, but I haven't the faintest clue what you are going on about here...

 

I dont know how effective 'crime of passion' is when used as a defense but surely some consideration will be given if that were to be the case whereas the cold blooded bank robber will not get that consideration...and rightfully so.

 

Wasn't there a clock tower sniper in TX in the 60s? He killed some college kids. At his autopsy I think a brain tumour was found.

 

Yes.
