A heartwarming story brought to you by Texas

I read that earlier but I don't know if I agree with you or not. For one, how can we ever know for sure whether or not these criminals are truely ill or just putting on an act. I mean, people can analyze them and stuff, but they can't say for sure that the criminal is ill or not. And, if he was mentally ill, then shouldn't he have already been monitored and diagnosed before the crime. If so, then wouldn't his caretakers have been able to prevent him from killing or 'forsee' a possible violent action and treat the patient before he can follow through?

I'm against the death penalty though. In my opinion, life in prison is a much worse punishment than death.
