There has been a nefarious crime. Involving an innocent citizen. The guy is insane for he killed an old man. My client should be found llegally insane because of his paranoia, and delvsional. My client should be put in a mental facility because he is insane. One reason why he is a bit wrong in the mind is that he took so much pride in planning and executing the murder. For seven days and nights he would go in his bedroom. Watching him careful. Waiting for the right moment to kill. The poor old man. My client is also delvsional, as a result of that he should go to jail. The guy was brother by the old man's eye ball. And killed him for that simple little thing! Wouldn't you send him to a mental house. Information course you would because he is insane. He also cut him up into pieces and but him in his own house. When the police arrived to ask questions he took it easy at first. Then he couldn't take it anymore so then told the police that he had killed the old man. And showed them where he put him. The funny thing is that he deiced to sit right on top of him.

This documentary is relevant to the research because a credible source sheriff, Ken Stolle has recorded information.…

    James Holmes Research Paper

    Imagine having a family member that suffers from a mental illness and is not always in full control over his actions. He has not gotten the help he needs yet and has become addicted to medication with life dangering side effects. Then one day he unexpectedly goes out and commits a horrific crime. Should he have to go through the same process that a perfectly sane criminal would go through? Should he be detained or actually get the help he needs through rehabilitation to overcome his illness? This story summarizes exactly what happened to James Holmes. On July 20, 2012 during The Dark Knight Rises premier, James Holmes allegedly killed 12 people and injured 58 others in Aurora Colorado (Press). It was not Holmes’ complete fault for committing the crime. Holmes should have the opportunity to be rehabilitated because his mind is a great asset to society; he also suffered from psychiatric problems that can be fixed through rehab.…

    Case Analysis of Richard Ramirez

    For instance, Vetter (1990) studied the association of the intensity of the violence within the crime, with the reactions and assessment that humans provide for the motive of the crime. He states that, “ To many, a person who commits a series of heinous, apparently senseless, murders must be ‘out of his mind.’ The exact nature of the ‘mental illness’ is not especially important, but the more bizarre the murders, the more convincing is the self-evident proposition that they are the work of someone who is ‘mad’.” Vetter goes on to say that criminal law associates with incompetence and insanity. He states that it does not connect with mental illness. (1990) According to criminal law, when the courts find a person mentally insane, they are almost automatically found not guilty by reason of insanity. Vetter’s studies help categorize the serial murders to allow criminologists to better analyze the reasoning behind the crimes.…

The prosecutor argued that because Singleton’s symptoms were not showing, he was sane.…

    The Pros And Cons Of The Insanity Defense

    In recent years, Iowa has had two successful insanity defense cases, successful as in the defendant got what he wanted, not guilty. In both cases, they admitted to the murder, and gave substitutions for why they acted out. The Cody Metzker-Madsen case was the first to occur, and he stated that him and his foster brother were playing, and Cody got into “his own world” and in it, his foster brother transformed into a goblin king that Cody needed to destroy (Rodgers, Grant.). Cody ended up drowning the little boy, thus pleading guilty, but the judge casted him as innocent. In insanity defense cases, the defendant pleads innocent based on the fact that they were not psychologically stable at the time. When on trial, Cody denied his violent acts, and only talked about the goblin. In his past, he has had been known to lie, fantasize, and suffer from epilepsy. When all the information was given to the public, most of the community felt that the trial was fair, and Cody got what he needed. Cody did not go to a mental health institution, but somehow was found innocent, and sent to a low grade prison. If he was innocent by reason of insanity, why wasn’t he sent to and actual institution, where he could get the appropriate…

    Insanity as a Defense Views

    Each year the number of murders increases. Do you ever wonder if these murders would stop if the “criminals” were not given the verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity (NGRI)? In order to be eligible for this an individual must not be in a correct state of mind when the murder took place. Oftentimes, people feel that lawyers misrepresent clients as insane; when in actuality the client is competent to decipher right from wrong. In the following text, we will analyze our research of what effects Texas A&M students’ views on using insanity defense in murder trials, focusing on political views, number of sociology or psychology classes taken, and hometown population size.…

Many mentally ill individuals have been executed and some are currently on death row. All the while, this controversial issue is still being debated on.…

    Mentally Ill in Prison

    Given the number of incarcerated inmates who suffer from some form of mental illness, there are growing concerns and questions in the medical field about treatment of the mentally ill in the prison system. When a person with a mental illness commits a crime or break the law, they are immediately taken to jail or sent off to prison instead of being evaluated and placed in a hospital or other mental health facility. “I have always wondered if the number of mentally ill inmates increased since deinstitutionalization” Since prison main focus is on the crimes inmates are incarcerated; the actual treatment needed for the mentally ill is secondary. Mentally ill prisoners on the surface may appear to be just difficult inmates depending on the degree of outward actions being displayed. For instance, a paranoid inmate may get into a fight simply because he believes he is being followed and/or stalked by other prisoners. It becomes quite clear that the solution for the treatment of the mentally ill is not “Incarceration”.…

    The Tell-Tale Heart Response Essay

    The narrator planned out the murder long before he did it. As he was about to explain how he completed his task, he sounded quite proud. He did make sure to point out that he is not mad and did what he thought was right. “If you still think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body.” He remembered all of the things he did the night of the crime. Signs of a mental illness are memory loss. He must be sane if he could clearly state what happened without hesitation. The narrator does not seem one hundred percent trustworthy though. He could be seen as mental for this…
