What exactly are you smoking?
Our criminal justice system could not exist without taking into account motive and intent - otherwise all would be treated the same without distinction between involuntary and voluntary actions, much less the state of mind of the perpetrator and if they were in fact sane insane.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 117166True. People who act to harm others on purpose are more dangerous to society, because, other things being equal, they are more likely to harm people repeatedly. Still, the whole "punishment" and "responsibility" bit is entirely unnecessary to justify the existence of courts and a prison system. A society works better when it locks up people who seek to harm it, so that is what an intelligent society will do. No blabber about "free will" is needed.
