What’s really crazy is the idea that mental retardation or total insanity is a legal defense for any crime. Just what is the point? If an individual doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong, he ought to learn the difference between freedom and liberty, life and death. It’s this
sort of nonsense that keeps the pro and condeath penalty arguments endless. And pointless.
