This piece of shit has caused irreparable and traumatic damage to an innocent woman and is trying to hide behind a mental health issue.
Well, frankly, even if they were not mentally well that shouldn’t absolve the danger or actions. They need to be removed from society. They should get some help. But the length of sentencing should not include leniency. They are criminally responsible.
Fair, but I think we could have an interesting discussion about what the bar for rehabilitation should be, because proving that can be incredibly difficult. Sometimes you simply can’t prove it and the crime so heinous that society should simply not bear the risk. Life sentencing for serial killers is a perfect example.
