No way. If the criminals plead innocent, and then are let free, they could commit crimes again. The criminally insane should be mercy-killed, in order to protect the good of the society. Also, the insane criminals would probably want to die than what they go through.

Well most people who are truly criminally insane(like that guy Berkowitz, or the Son of Sam, or however anyone knows him by) dont know what they are doing. They dont have the capacity to realize that they are doing wrong. Criminally insane people can plead innocent by reason of insanity. If they are found so, they are put into a sanatorium or w/e you want to call it, untill they are deemed healthy. Then they are let free. That Son of Sam guy is and has always and probobly will always be in a nut house.

 

Plus, your plea isnt what you are. If you plead guilty, then there is no trial and your sentenced right there. If you plead innocent, there is a trial to find if you really are innocent. If you plead innocent by reason of insanity, you get some strange trial to see if your really criminally insane. You can also do the same thing with temporary insanity and try to say that you were so enraged or w/e when you commited the crime that you really didnt know you were doing.

Yes. You must have conscience that you did something wrong otherwise you wouldn't understant the punition... So they should be kept in institution and treated

Yes, they already can. But if they do, they can get worse by lying under oath, which is a gamble. If they know they did it, listen to the lawyer and plead Guilty Under terms of insanity.

Why would anyone want to let a criminally insane person walk away free?! If they plead insane, and are sent to an institution, then it is as bad as prison..................

If they plead insanity, its basically saying guilty by reason of insanity. You go to an institution untill cured, and then to jail. If you are found innocent by reason of insanity, your just sent to an institution. And let me tell you, the nut house is MUCH different than prison. Like group therapy... group therapy is fun...

In my opinion, all insane prisoners should be rounded up and killed. I know it sounds harsh, but it takes care of the problem faster, it lets us direct more money from institutions to other things, and it helps decrease the world's population (albeit not by very much)..................
