More of the scum of humanity

She's a sociopath. It's that simple. There's no cure for that, and they know full well what they're doing. Throw her in jail to rot.

Hopefully with a 200 pound cat loving cell mate.

Yep. "Mental institution" my ass. Charles Manson is a textbook example of sociopathy, and he belongs whee he is, not in a hospital.

I'm not in the slightest bit aware of details of mental illnesses, since I have never been exposed to it. Meh, I dont particularly care anyway. If its punishment, then I am happy.

Nah, put her in a cell holding the 'putty tat' that mauled Roy Horn (Siegfried and Roy).

Justice, true justice Capt. Jethro.

No kidding. Hey I was in TUS last week, that area of the US always reminds me of Mars. Beautiful place though.

A sociopath is basically someone who knows right from wrong but does not care about the distinction. I'd argue that it is a mental illness and IIRC it's defined as one in the DSM under different terms, but it's a type that really doesn't require institutionalization because there isn't really a cure. There is treatment but that needs to happen before a crime is committed. So shoving them in an already over-crowded and under-funded institution isn't the best option, not to mention that the US is light on the "rehabilitation" option anyways.

Correct, also known as antisocial personality or psychopathy. And complete indefnesible as legal insanity - to plead such in the US, the accused must demonstrate an inability to make moral decisions.
