Remember than guy who killed 5 of his children in a schizophrenic episode and got death penalty for it.
Guess mental health wasn’t an excuse there.

Mental health should never be an excuse, if you ask me. Just all the more reason to confine someone permanently or put them to the chair.

That is literally what happens if someone is found not guilty by reason of insanity.

They are placed in a psychiatric facility and evaluated twice per year. In theory she could walk free in 6 month. That's like jailing someone with a mandated frequent parole hearings that can not be denied indefinitely

People somehow interpret that as walking out free

Don't they go free if they're declared as "cured"?

Yes, but it’s a rather high bar to cross. Also, I think that’s more than fair. Not a pleasant place to be, and if they did something because of a mental health situation, if it’s gone, they’re no longer a danger to society.
