If he's as mentally ill as it sounds, he shouldn't be tried at all. He
should be committed.

The chance of being "cured" in an asylum is about as good as being
rehabilitated in prison.
Put him in the chair and tell him it's a ride.

How very revealing...execute the mentally ill.

Why not? Can you say any murderer is actually sane?

I understand you are against the death penalty in all circumstances
but the criminally insane should be at the front of the line. Cull the
herd, hopefully before they can reproduce. Darwin supports my position
on this.

Fortunately, most civilized people disagree.

The test is if the person committing the crime has the mental capacity
to know it's a crime ... or wrong.

OK I'll play. If someone is so mentally damaged that they do not think
killing another person is a crime, why would we want them on the
planet with us? We certainly do not want them influencing anyone else
behavioral or genetically.

That logic suggests anyone with a serious physical disability and is
dependent on others, including the government, for their
welfare should also be "eliminated". Don't need that burden, huh?

BTW ... what makes you think mental illness is hereditary?
