Again, I think I see this a bit differently than many, years of studying all things psychological (just because I love the topic) and having at least one friend who is permanently unable to function well (not that she's violent) in society because of chemical imbalances in her brain chemestry leave me with a certain understanding that such a thing can happen and that she may not have had any control over the outcome.

That's not to say that I want her out in the general public until what ever the problem is can be corrected - if it can be corrected - having been in a few mental institutions, no matter how caring the staff, I'm not sure I wouldn't prefer prison from a personal viewpoint, those places are scary in a way that prison could never scare me!

Anyway, the jury heard all of the details, and what I know of it is only what others have reported, so, for me, I think it is best to trust in the system of justice and believe that the choice was made by 12 jurors with a rational perspective. ... just my 2 cents worth anyway.
