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.
I’d think his life expectancy would be shorter in a mental hospital than in prison. Those are scary places and it only takes one wacko to get a wild hair and it’s lights out. Imagine the mental fatigue you’d have after living 24/7 in a place like that. It might prove a better punishment if it was guaranteed he’d never be let out.
