I never understood the need for a mental evaluation. No one that murders is normal or is thinking rationally. What are they thinking they will find?

According to that reasoning, all murderers should have a mental evaluation.

Or are you saying they all should just be declared mentally off?

Because as juvy’s they have to according to laws in most states. just dotting I’s and crossing T’s. And hoping that the eval will come out that he is nuts, so they can get off with a few years in a mental hospital...at our expense. Housing them as juvy’s cost twice as much as adults, and TN has only about 200 juvy beds.

We truly need to revise these laws to read guilty by reason of insanity, ‘cure’ the insanity, and then incarcerate them for their sentence. Would put a stop to a lot of this Hinkley BS.
