... so we truly know if that individual is insane. It is difficult to determine if someone is telling the truth about their mental state. In our justice system a lot depends on how well a person is defended. If a defense attorney sees no serious signs of mental illness, he will not attempt to defend his client in this fashion. When using the insanity ... client was or was not thinking at the time of the crime. That is a major reason why this defense does not work. We can never be truly certain that what you see in court is the real thing. As much as I feel that this defense is flawed, I rea...

It is my belief that defendants should never face a jury of their exact peers. The effect of allowing the defendant to go to court of there peers would destroy the whole system of what this country was built on.

I felt lost throughout parts ... the author did not fully explain or express the story behind each character, and seem to just introduce one character after another, expecting the audience to understand what is going on at every moment....
