While I respect your compassion, I disagree..
The test has to be "Danger to Others"..
Frankly, I could care less about "Danger to Self"..
I don't care what the mental competence of a murderer or any other violent criminal is..
Their Actions are what is relevent..
If they cause the deaths of innocents, then they should be dealt with accordingly..
A dead criminal will never kill again..
Amen, brother...and none of this life without parole stuff. Look at our (I'm in Kalifornia) world famous Chilren's Story writer "Tookie" Williams; in prison for murder and causes the murder of 3 other persons.
