“too long for temporary insanity.”

IF I recall correctly, I don’t think the insanity defense works very often. It used to, in the past. But there was a big stink after John Hinckley successfully used it and laws were changed to make it more difficult for it to fly.

...........I think that when a grown man rapes a child and is caught and convicted that the punishment should be he is turned over to the father or grandfather for a private burial. Everybody else just butt the f out!

If he had done it right at the time of the offense, lots of people would be sympathetic, waiting 12 years takes it way out of temporary.
