This sort of thing must severely piss off people with legitimate mental health problems.
- colejohnson66 6y agoThe gist of this article is essentially that the judge has ordered her to be examined by doctors. That being said, as someone with mental health problems, I’m not pissed off. An insanity defense is an extremely high bar to climb; even actual psychopaths don’t succeed most of the time. As for if she actually has a mental health problem, it is possible; even high functioning autistic people can have their moments of darkness (as in, not thinking clearly). Now, considering how long the con went on for, it’s highly unlikely that she’ll be able to convince the doctors she was “insane” the whole time. TL;DR: I’m not upset or worried.
