Couple of caveats before posing this question:
- I am 100%, unequivocally opposed to the death penalty in any circumstance
- I don't dispute the validity of mental health conditions nor support the assertion they can easily be 'faked'
Here's my question: isn't anyone who commits a heinous crime such as murder 'not of sound mind'? Whether or not it's a voice in their head, 'something' is telling them to commit the act.
No, I think there are lots of people who murder but aren't insane. They are aware of the consequences and do it anyway.
