    That is just unreal... Why did this guy do it? Furthermore, why was he not "criminally responsible"???

    I would imagine not criminally responsible is the same as being found not guilty by reason of insanity, which usually means that at the time of the rome he was either A: not aware of the nature of his acts, or B: not aware that what he was doing was wrong.

    Since he wasn't legally sane, he can't be found guilty, but he gets sent to a mental institution until he is deemed cured and eligible to re-join society.

    Seems like he pleaded insanity to get out of doing hard time. I hate the insanity case, I bet he's laughing it up now in his 5 by 5 Cubicle of a room, in his white straight jacket

    Laughing maniacally, even....

    He's actually so cunning he managed to be diagnosed mentally ill 5 years ago.

    Why would a sane person cut off a random strangers head on a bus, and eat parts of the body? Just as a matter of interest.

    Maybe their just Sadistic, Charles Manson is a good case because he murdered, tortured and mutilated many people yet he can still be classed as sane. By the way dose a Psychopath fall into the catagory of the Insanity Case, because i'm sure that there are quite a few psycopaths who are just serving normal jail sentences

    No he didn't, Charles Manson never murdered anybody.

    Psychopahts are not definitely covered by the insanity plea as psychopathy is not a recognised mental illness and they do not necessarily meet the criteria of legal insanity.

    Not to mention the murderers / rapists who are released to murder / rape again .It seems according to news reports ,their are many such like out there.

    Another recent /similar example is the Harrry potter actor Robert Knox , who was stabbed to death .The guy who stabbed him could have being locked up 2 months previious if police had taken action against him for another serious crime .

    Verdict was in this morning.

    The guy was found "not criminally responsible"

    He will be going to a mental hospital under some Doctor until he says he is cured.

    Muslims. Unless you want to claim they're insane, which for some strange reason I have a feeling you won't.

    It's a sad day when such a psychopath could potentially be out in a year or two. Mentally insane or not, such a person should never, ever be allowed re-join society and should be under lock and key until they meet their demise, or preferably be put down so as to not waste money on their incarceration and/or care.

    Yes, I mean who the fvck wants to live an a society where such things as mental illness or age are taken into account. Lock them up, kill them, or cut off their hands - thats the way we should do it in the West.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭Puddleduck


    Hrm..I know you can sometimes get the munchies when your on the bus but this is ridiculous.

    I think he should be locked away for life, be it in a nut house or a prison it dosent matter.

    (In the event of a terminal illness I intend to save money for my legacy by not flying to Switzerland, but just wearing make up and a skirt through Mulhuddart.)

    It seens lately that all a criminal has to do is "fake it" and they get off. Horrible and frankly terrifying story.

    would be pretty hard to "fake" this. Can't see many sane people doing this. if any. also, diagnosed as mentally ill 5 years BEFORE the attack.

    Better start setting up my alibi now in case i decide to decapitate a stranger in a few years time. :P
