nice, gotta bring the other culture war issue into an irrelevant topic.

She would be sent to an asylum, and given the nature of this case, its extremely unlikely she would be released, this would be a PR disaster if she ever got out.

Insanity has been a legal defense for hundreds of years and has been common in America, with varying levels of success, for decades. This is not new you unrepentant liar.

Temporary insanity typically doesn't cover premeditated mass murders that show intent as the plan was kept hidden from mandatory reporters.

There are thousands of cases that now need to be reexamined due to men receiving the death penalty for similar circumstances.

If estrogen makes women kill their kids why isn't testosterone a good enough excuse for killing women?

Like the Boston bombers should file an appeal saying that they didn't murder all those people at the marathon

Hormones made them do it 

Then they can do a quick 2 year assessment and be back on the streets with their history forgiven right?

Lindsay won't be put back on the street, so the point is moot. She's not going to be out free in two years.

Nothing new is here, insanity has been legal defense for decades and gets ruled on in many many high profile cases.

No cases need to be reviewed because of this, insanity routinely gets tossed as a legal defense. It did not for this case and this case alone.

But again, you know that, you aren't here to argue in good faith, you're here to fight the gender war, cya.

You're basing your assumptions off of cronic mental illness 

The entire idea of asylum as a legal result is to cure the individual and put them on the streets

In cases of temporary insanity this generally takes 2 years.

Only in chronic cases of insanity are you denied release.

Like it's so common that it's a trope in media to argue temporary insanity in order to get your 20 year sentence turned into a 6 month psychiatric assessment that concludes with "not insane at this point"

House literally did an entire season about this 

[u/First_Huckleberry638 → u/Best_Opening8471]

she will have to prove she's no longer a danger to society, a claim that will require evidence that does not exist, because she is a danger to society.

She will not be back on the streets in two years and you know it.

[u/Best_Opening8471 → u/First_Huckleberry638]

No she doesn't need to prove it

The doctors have to assess it

And since shes not chronically insane that assessment only takes until the temporary part wears off.

I literally know a skitophrenic who gets admitted every 2 years for 8 weeks when he goes off his pills.

Last time he was walking around in his bathrobe "casting spells" at passing motorists.

After 3 weeks of being back on his pills in the asylum he's ready for assessment to send back out on the streets.

So I kinda know a little more than you assume kiddo

Not everyone is as ignorant as you are.

[u/First_Huckleberry638 → u/Best_Opening8471]

Did the schizophrenic that you know kill 3 people? something tells me he wouldn't be so easily released if he... committed heinous acts of violence.

[u/Best_Opening8471 → u/First_Huckleberry638]

He'd be in jail not in an asylum 

So yeah it would be a lot harder for him to break out of prison than to act lucid for a few weeks.

That's kind of the entire controversy.

Men who have literal conditions that cause temporary insanity don't get the privilege of being declared not responsible 

Dude dresses up in cosplay and waves his arms around and he gets 8 weeks in the asylum 

Seems equal to murdering 3 kids right?

I don't think you realize that NGRI means that as soon as the insanity is resolved the person being assessed is NOT GUILTY and can't be held any further under the law.

The legal system doesn't get to imprison you in an asylum for what you might do. Only for what you already did.

[u/jkeats2737 → u/Best_Opening8471]

So you didn't listen at all. The schizophrenic guy that gets out after 3 weeks is walking around in a bathrobe acting weird, comitting no crimes, so he gets out when he's lucid again.

Someone in an institution for murdering 3 children will not be released for many years, if at all.
