DC Sniper Put to Death


The issue of this sniper who killed 10 people in 2008 is a confusing one. It is confusing to me because many said he was insane, but he was still put to death.

Lawyer Jonathan Sheldon told the BBC's World Today: "A psychiatrist examined him and said he's paranoid and psychotic and delusional and gave many examples."

Mr Sheldon also said brain scans of Muhammad had revealed malformations linked to schizophrenia.

The fact that he maintained innocence seems crazy in itself.
I can understand why they would want to put someone who killed 10 innocent people to death, but it is my belief that if someone is mentally ill, they should go to a mental hospital.
In any event, I can only hope that those affected by the sniper killing have been able to achieve some sort of peace.
