” ... Incidentally, Hinrichs should have been found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed, not imprisoned. ...”
I know it would seem that way, but there is a prosecution witness that would blow that out of the water - his own father:
” ... The elder Hinrichs told police his son knows right from wrong but has mental health problems. ...”
The legal test is the “knowing right from wrong” determination. Otherwise, I might agree, only because of Andrea Yates and her re-trial. He will definitely have problems in prison, though.
Andrea Yates knew right from wrong. She admitted first thing that she’d done a very bad thing.
