Justice.

Justice isn’t about deterrent, it’s about justice. If you do the crime, you do the time. She stole. The law says there’s penalties for that.

So intent is irrelevant?

The law says there’s penalties for that.

And the law has recognized that insanity is a valid defense for crimes for over 800 years, and is valid in federal jurisdictions and 47/50 states. Now you're picking and choosing which laws you respect?
