Woltersdorf's evaluation wasn't meant to excuse Reginald Carr's crimes, but to explain what could have led him to such violent actions.

Yeah, right. If you believe that I've got some land in Florida for you.

Just another example of the Liberal's standard ploy to allow violent criminals to escape justice and return them to the streets where they can terrorize more citizens.

Neither antisocial peronality disorder nor drug abuse has ever been accepted either as a defense, or as a mitigating factor in sentencing.

The possibility of a history of head injury might serve as a mitigaing factor with respect to the death penalty, if the examiner can tie it to a problem of impulsive control, e.g., but that's not a slamdunk by any means.

Neither condition qualifies as insanity, "diminished capacity," or any other defense against the charges.

This testimony, IOW, won't matter a hill of beans.
