Sometimes I wonder if everyone fixates on these things due to the media needing some fresh outrage.

Firstly throw out something ridiculous and wait for a left or right to take the bait.
Queue some truly low IQ, easily influenced individuals with access to social media and you have the perfect recipe for entertainment.
Then report on the support for it (the more unhinged the supporters better)
Then report on the outrage to the support for it (the more pseudo intellectual the outraged better)
 
The right from wrong test does test Mens Rea, but has nothing to do with insanity. Is is actually stupid to bring up because are you trying to argue anyone on earth except @ShaunSA believes murdering children is right? Even if you have a justification for it is is still wrong. You cannot even bring the charge down to culpable homicide using that. Reasonable person test says killing people is not allowed.

Yeah meticulous planning destroys irresistible impulse. You should know it is wrong and have time to remove the kids or yourself.
Firstly...calm down. I'm not picking a fight.

Secondly: I brought it up merely as a legal fact regarding the three pillars of NGRI

I'm not sure why you think it is stupid to bring it up? In what context are you saying that?

I doubt ANYONE believes "murdering children is right." I certainly do not.

But I was addressing your comments regarding insanity etc. in the legal spectrum.

The Right from Wrong Test has a lot to do with insanity. People that exhibit the lack of discerning between right and wrong, are general deemed unfit for trial and referred for testing and psycho analysis.

When a court applies the "right from wrong" test, it specifically evaluates the defendant’s cognitive state at the exact moment of the crime, asking: Did a severe mental disease or defect prevent the defendant from understanding that their actions were morally or legally wrong?


If the answer is yes, the defendant is legally insane, regardless of their medical diagnosis.
 
I have no issues with that diagnosis. Provided the defendant is locked up and the key thrown away

None of this temporary insanity bullschit

Hey, look on the bright side - if you're ever accused of a crime, the whole of MyBB will be there to bear testimony to your insanity.

We've got you, bro! 😂
 
My opinion based on no known facts, the loony birds that supported this woman, have all murdered their own babies (they just called their babies, fetuses) hence why they have no problem with her killing her own children.

Possibly.

One in four woman have had an abortion.
