Crimes committed by mental patients are different from crimes committed by ordinary people. If it is committed during illness, even if it kills someone, it may not bear any criminal responsibility. Even if some mental patients need to bear criminal responsibility, they can be given a lighter or mitigated punishment! Because of the "protection" of mental patients, netizens who misunderstood the policy also put on the hat of "free from death gold medal" for mental patients!
But for the victims of mental illness, no matter whether the other party is mentally ill or not, as victims or family members, they all hope that the murderer will be severely punished by law! Especially for the mentally ill, some vicious cases are said to be mental illness as soon as they are exposed, which makes netizens have great resistance to the word mental illness!
Once, a girl in Loudi, Hunan Province, was hit five times with a hoe by a neighbor man while playing with her little friend, causing her skull to crack and she was unconscious on the spot. She's still in ICU! According to the local town government staff, the murderer has a history of mental illness! With this medical history, as long as it is proved that the man was really sick at the time of the crime and could not control his behavior, he will not bear criminal responsibility at all!
This incident reminds people of some vicious cases that happened before: in July 2020, a little girl was thrown by a man from the second floor of Nanning Railway Station in Guangxi, and it is said that she may be mentally ill! 2019165438+10, a 9-year-old boy was brutally killed by a mentally ill man in his own community!
Mental patients are vulnerable groups and deserve necessary protection, even to avoid social discrimination! However, the life safety and health of others should also be properly protected! Even mental patients should be compassionate, and ordinary people have no reason to pay for their misfortunes!
Some netizens say that mental patients should be locked up, which is naturally extreme and infringes on their normal rights and interests! However, we can't think that the crime of mental patients is an unsolved problem, and whoever meets it is unlucky! After all, we can't put many people in danger for the benefit of one person!
There are two situations in which mental patients commit crimes. One is that they are really sick, and the other is that they use mental illness to excuse their crimes.
In the first case, in addition to requiring family members to take good care of their families, there must be corresponding management mechanisms. After all, even family members can't follow them around the clock. Mental patients should be examined regularly, and those in danger should be treated in time. Although the cost may be a bit high, it's better than checking after they kill someone. For those whose daily inspection is normal, there is no need to identify them after committing the crime. After all, after-the-fact appraisal may not be able to scientifically prove the state of the crime. In order not to be responsible for the firmness afterwards, I will pretend a little.
In the second case, the scope of appraisal must be strictly controlled! According to the law, mental patients do not have to bear criminal responsibility if they commit a crime without being able to identify or control their own behavior. As long as the criminal doesn't have enough evidence to prove that he can't identify or control his behavior at that time, he can't identify, and the punishment will be punished! At the same time, if anyone is found to be faking, no matter the parties, family members, hospitals or anyone else, they will all be hell to pay!
There are many problems in life, but we don't admit them just because they are difficult! Any problem must be solved, even if it can't be completely solved, we must find the most beneficial way for most people! We hope everyone can live a good life, but this must be based on not hurting others!
