I've heard that in the state of Michigan a plea of insanity is somewhat different than other places. As I heard it, if found guilty under such a plea, the criminal would first go to a mental institute until declared sane and would then serve their appropriate sentence for the crime committed.
Whether this is true of Michigan or not, I personally like the idea and think it should be implemented, at least nation wide if not world wide. If an insane person murders someone, are they no less dead than had they been murdered by a sane person? In fact, some would only an insane person would commit murder.
On the other hand, I wonder how many of us would be alive if everyone could, with complete impunity, "think" someone to death.
