Is it just a coincidence that those killers that claim diminished responsibility after a murder..

…never attack someone built like a brick shìthouse but are always told by a 'voice' to go for a defenceless woman or a child. They’re not that stupid, are they?

Strange how voices always tell them to kill somebody, never to help an old lady across a road.

We wouldn't but it's a fair assumption. I was half joking anyway

It is apparently very difficult to diagnose. I remember listing to a pod cast about it. There is a theory that the voices are due to disordered memory. Its rare for suffers to be unable to resist the commands or voices. Could be faking it.

How can it be cheaper to keep some fruit cake in prison for 30 odd years than just bumping them off

Keeping some inmate in broad more is a couple hundred thousand a year

In the US anyhow it’s the DP appeals process that goes on for years that costs the money

It’s been established that it works out more expensive than LWP there anyway

Of course you can bump them off and that’s cheaper but there will be more miscarriage of justice that way
