In 2008 a man decapitated someone on a Greyhound, he taunted the other bus riders by showing them the severed head, and he ate some of the body in front of the other passengers. His lawyers used the insanity plea. He served his time and was let out in 2017.

If he didn’t plead insanity, I’d be extremely surprised if he weren’t still in jail.

i did not say, “insanity defense”, nor did i imply it.

i find your replying to me as if i did, quite vexing.

on my first impression, these are the actions of someone who is unable to control themself, and as such, should be treated as a mental health case instead of a normal violent offender. there’s more to the story, of course.

i also think mental hospitals and prisons should be drastically reformed…
