HOW is this even remotely possible?
See link
Apparently the man who brutally murdered and decapitated a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in mid-2008 goes on trial today. Get this:
"Li's lawyers do not refute the fact that their client killed McLean. However, they will argue at the trial that Li was not criminally responsible for the killing because he suffered from mental health problems.
The defence is expected to argue that Li was in an automaton state, which was brought on by his mental problems, and should therefore be placed in an institution rather than put in prison.
If they are successful, the 40-year-old Li won't have a criminal record. He would undergo annual assessments by a mental health review board and could be released into the community if he is deemed to be healthy.
Under current laws, a person found not criminally responsible for a crime is not required to serve a minimum detention sentence."
If you DO NOT find that completely appalling, there is something wrong with you. So in the USA a guy can put two dogs in a ring together and do 3 years of HARD time.....in a JAIL. But in Canada, a man with no previous history of any mental illness can be possibly be branded as mentally insane and GET AWAY WITH MURDER. Can you imagine if this freak was walking the streets of Edmonton again?
