No sir what it means simply is that you lack understanding of the nature of mental illness. And as far as condescending I only meant to point that out as you seem to lack a certain understanding of the why in this case. Evil ? Yes. But then I guess the early Christians used to kill these " Demon Possessed " people because they were " evil". Thankfully we have come to a greater understanding of the human mind. Except for Democrats of course. LOL.

Allow me to clarify. It is the insanity plea that I don't agree with, not that the woman IS mentally ill. I'm quite sure that she is mentally ill, I just don't think she should get a lighter punishment for muder because of it. I don't think that she was 'possessed' or anything of that nature.

BTW, I have been around the mentally ill in my lifetime, enough to know of what you speak. Granted, it was not my mother, but an uncle. I still experienced it.
