AWWW,poor widdle psycho! Depraved on account of he was deprived because of systemic racism. So he beat a murder rap because a shrink who's just as effed up in the head as he is scammed a gullible DA and judge into believing he didn't know what he was doing. If it were, say, someone like Conner MacGregor, Brock Lesnar, Dwayne Johnson, etc bike riding at that same exact spot at the same exact time would this POS even think of messing with anyone like them?
That was slick how the defense lawywr threw in that snarky remark if it were Tom Brady's son. If anyone came forward saying they had a vision of Brady uttering the n-word when he was a kid he'd be cancelled and forced to go into hiding.

We need to learn from this. If someone goes to an authority and says that he is going to hurt someone, they need to be bound by law to check that person into the hospital and find out what is wrong. It’s nice to say put him in jail or execute him. Overtly mentally ill people do not belong in prison. That being said, he should not be let out for the rest of his life.

The guy showed up at a police station BEFORE the act saying he needed help because he wanted to kill people. They told him to sleep his insanity off.

bullsh!t...

[fortes fortuna juvat]

The man who intentionally ran over a bicycling family three years ago was found not guilty by reason of insanity.
.......................................
Intentional but insane, huh? Look, this is a classic example of why I never tire of telling people that we do NOT live in a truly civilized country. Because in any TRULY civilized country this killer would have been tried, convicted, sentenced to death, and HANGED all within the time span of a month — OR LESS! Disgraceful!

[ConservativeMind]

There was a Quincy M.E. show that described what people should get: “Insane, But Guilty.”

[from occupied ga]

Well that’s a relief. Now his victims aren’t as dead as if he’d been judged sane when he killed them.

[Tamatoa]

But he was able to drive.

“If my son was Tom Brady’s son or a high-profile white guy, he would have never been dumped in the streets,” claimed Morse.”

“telling officers he was about to hurt someone”

Maybe he really only asked to use the bathroom.

Any legal types here who can speculate as to what typically happens with people like this?

How long are they usually treated in the mental health facility and are they in a lock down when being treated?

I wonder what will happen when he is judged to be “cured” and released? Perhaps a member of the murdered guys family will see him one day and do the right thing and see that real justice is done.

It used to be called mental institutions. Insane folk need to be set apart from general society(for their own safety and the safety of society). No hatred or prejudice...but they are too dangerous to themselves and others. Until we can find out why mental disease happens and how to control it.
The weak, and inadequate societal response to this human issue invites more innocent mayhem and death.

Sure would be a shame if [redacted] and then switched [redacted].

[Little Ray]

The proper response to murderous insanity is to euthanize the lunatic.

[DesertRhino]

I might have known...

[nitzy]

Doctors representing the state and the defense agreed Morse did not know right from wrong at the time of the crime.

If this is the standard that we go by, no crime committed by any Democrat should ever be punished.

[Doc91678]

I agree... If this had been a white guy running down a black father and son it would have been classed as a “Hate Crime”.
I just read another article claiming that hate crimes have risen and are attributed to “white Supremacists”.
Either the FBI report is pure disinformation or they have discounted all the attacks like this and others by Black’s attacking Asians, Whites on a consistent basis.

[Do_Tar]

The article says he was Baker Acted but released without proper treatment.
In Florida that means you’re committed for an involuntary 72-hour mental health examination.
So it wasn’t the Police, it was the “Social Workers” that released him to murder.
