Why isn’t his status as criminally insane being brought up?
Hasn’t he been legally diagnosed with schizophrenia?
If so, why wasn’t he committed as criminally insane?
He’s not schizophrenic.
He’s just knows what to do and say.
His actions on the bus were not those of a schizophrenic.
He’s a sociopath.
He knew how to get on the train, knew he had killed her, fled the train after taking his hoodie off. He was fully aware that he “got” a “white girl”. He will be tried for murder and not criminally insane..
They don’t “commit” people anymore. They give them a tent and let them live on the street.
Easier said than done.
My brother was a violent, schizophrenic drug addict, back in the 70s-2000s. He was a veteran but the VA had no apparent ability to do more than hold him for a bit and then release him. They prescribed meds but he could not be forced to take them, and they weren’t that effective anyway. My parents had no idea how to get him committed, and really could not grasp that their son could be as dangerous as really was. So nothing was done until after he killed an innocent elderly man while having a hallucination that somehow the man was a dangerous traitor. Then, he was finally put in the secure ward of a mental hospital. That was 1981. I was 19. Luckily he was never sane enough to stand trial so he was just hospitalized for years until he died.
I do not know what the current law is about committing someone. But from recent events, it would seem that the situation has not improved.
