Would it not be different if the mental health system actually had more money to deal with these kinds of cases?
IMO he should be found criminally responsible because it was still something inside him that made him do it. But if that means he has to go to jail and not get the help he needs then obviously that can't happen. The problem is when he is sent away to be helped, only so much can be done with the resources available. Even if they want to, they can't keep him in there forever, the money just isn't there.
Once he reaches some sort of baseline he will be released?
Am I wrong here?
