Then have the DMV agent who issued him a license sit in the cell in his stead.

pretty soon it’s gonna be illegal to be a law abiding citizen- criminals are no longer responsible for their actions apparently-

The national motto used to be “In God We Trust”.

Today it’s just “It’s Not My Fault; I’m Not Responsible”.

"lacked a substantial capacity to know what he was doing was wrong"

Sounds to me like he's a lunatic and a danger to society. He needs to be institutionalized, prison or nuthouse. He MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO WALK FREE AMONG US. HE'S A DANGEROUS NUT!!!

“The decision means Rojas qualifies for being committed instead of being sentenced to prison.”

As opposed to being executed?

Doesn’t look anything like the walleyed look of a guy that
has serious mental issues.

He’s exhibiting anger there. He was showing folks what’s
what.

Just what we needed, a Leftist bleeding heart...

...for anyone but the citizens.

It’s a form of insanity defense. Incapable of telling right from wrong, so can’t be a criminal. One of the elements of most crimes is “knew (or should have known) it was wrong and did it anyway.”

Your honor, I can’t be a criminal. I’m a Democrat!

Okay, so it was mental illness. That just means it isn't an execution, but euthanasia.

Give him to the families.

You can bet that if he'd killed someone "connected", the "authoritays" would find a way to kill him.

Peasants? They'll spend a bunch of YOUR money to taunt you about how powerless you are.
