Won’t he walk into a hospital for the criminally insane if found not guilty by reason of insanity?
Last one around here who took an insanity plea ended up doing about 2 years for her murder before she was cured. It doesn’t take long to cure someone who’s not really insane to start with.
The article days: “If acquitted, Holmes would be committed to the state mental hospital indefinitely.”
Makes me ill to know that if this plea is successful, the taxpayers could be providing him food, clothing, lodging, medical care and legal representation for the rest if his miserable life.
He will go to a prison disguised as a mental facility.

In Colorado, yes. AND he could walk out the next day if/when he achieves a miraculous recovery. Certainly a better outcome for the ruthless killer than getting The Needle.
