Also, I don't think having schizophrenia means that person is not responsible for anything they do, ever. If they go into some kind of black out episode or manic state and kill someone during that time, then yes, they are innocent for reason of insanity. If they plan for it, premeditate it, try to cover their tracks, etc, that's pretty good indication that they were lucid and competent enough for a guilty verdict.
Legally, yeah, but still doesn't exclude the possibility that they may be mentally ill. Is psychopathy, for example, (or ASPD) not ever a mental illness? Is NPD not ever a mental illness?
What? I'm not excluding the possibility of mental illness. I'm talking about whether the mental illness was severe enough to deem a person innocent of the crime they commited.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
