In reply to the discussion: Woman charged with hate-crime murder in death of man pushed in front of NYC train [View all]marble falls
(57,079 posts)24. My experiance with the mentally ill and the take I got say otherwise....
Its heinous how many folks we have on the street with no medication, sometimes no diagnosis and 99% no therapy beyond picking up a prescription however regularly, a 15 minute meeting with a casework overloaded social worker (who may have actually graduated in another discipline) that may or may not happen.
The difference between the law and justice is mercy and extenuating circumstances that at least considers all the relevant aspects, like if the accused is operating in a diminished capacity. Please tell me you don't think 30yr, life with no parole or execution are suitable punishments for minors?
