89. Apology

You are correct that "crazy" is a meaningless term. I should not have used it, actually for multiple reasons. For that reason you are also correct when you state that crazy people sometimes commit intentional acts.

This assailant, however, was more than simply mentally ill. He had been previously adjudged not guilty by reason of mental incompetence. The legal standard for incompetence is that the defendant be unable to appreciate the wrongfullness of his actions.

While I totally agree with your statement in a broad sense, I stand beside my comment as it regards this particular individual.

As for resumes, I may not be a psychologist but I have 30+ years experience representing criminal defendants whose mental illness is all that stands between them and conviction and/or death.
