A 28-year-old girl from Changchun was stoned to death on the street, ** was a 23-year-old Jiangxi man Zhou.
In June this year, Zhou took an online loan to fly from Shanghai to Changchun to find a job.
After spending the last bit of money in a daily rental house, I felt that I couldn't live anymore, and I wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
In the end, he held back a cowardly and bad trick: "euthanasia" by killing people to pay for his life.
So, in the more than ten days he arrived in Changchun, he threw objects from the 33rd floor where the daily rental house was located, and threw them in places with many people, "which one is smashed".
Throw two buckets of 5L bottled water and 3 cans of unopened Coke.
The people who were smashed the first two times escaped by luck, but they were also hit hard by this flying disaster.
At that time, they all called the police, and when the police came, they didn't find the person who threw the object from the height.
Five days later, on the night of June 22, eight more bricks were thrown downstairs.
This time, Xiao Lou, who came from Beijing to Changchun to visit friends, suffered.
One of the bricks hit Lou Xiao Lou's head, resulting in a severe head injury and death.
After Zhou heard the scream, he went downstairs to confirm that the person was not working, and then went to the police station to report and surrender.
Zhou's family never showed up and did not apologize.
Only took out a previous spiritual certificate, and wanted to use it to get away with it.
*The re-evaluation indicated that ** was in a normal mental state at the time of the case and was assessed as having full capacity for criminal responsibility.
In the courtroom, Zhou was smiling and unrepentant.
The Public Prosecutor's Office has recommended the death penalty, and the verdict will be handed down today.
A cowardly, selfish, and ignorant man is like a demon hiding in the shadows, who is obviously incapacitated, but hates society;
He is obviously world-weary, but he does not have the courage to commit suicide.
If the death penalty is in his hands, he should be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.
Let him live and die in a long prison life for the rest of his life.
With the results of the judicial appraisal, Zhou will most likely be sentenced to death.
But not the "euthanasia" he pursued.
This kind of murder motive of wanting to die but not daring to commit suicide and obtaining the death penalty by killing is unbelievable in the eyes of normal people, but it is logical for patients with major depression.
"Curve killing" from a light hairdrop
We have the impression that people with depression are always lonely in their corners.
It was as if they had a knife, but the edge of the knife was directed at themselves.
Because the essence of depression is disgust with oneself.
However, some people with depression will fail to commit suicide and get the death penalty by homicide.
They wanted to kill themselves, but they were too cowardly to do anything to themselves.
So he will be sentenced to death by killing strangers, and thus kill himself in disguise.
From a psychological point of view, this behavior is called "curvilinear suicide", also known as indirect suicide.
Most of these indirect suicides are not done on the spur of the moment.
Rather, after thinking and choosing, the target object is finally determined.
However, such crimes are subject to lenient punishment under the law.
In September 2014, a man in Beijing, Bai, drove out to buy water pipe fittings, but the water pipe fittings were not bought, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he felt that he might as well die if he was useless.
So I turned into the small supermarket next door and bought a wallpaper knife and cut 3 knives on my wrist.
Because he was afraid that he would not be able to die, he became more and more irritable.
Thinking about hitting someone, ** will shoot him.
If there are more people, the death penalty will definitely be imposed.
He saw a woman pushing a cart, so he hit it from behind, knocked down the woman, and then sped up and rushed to other passers-by again.
This time two people flew away, one was knocked into the car glass and one was knocked out.
After colliding with 3 people in a row, Bai called the police.
He also "threatened" that if the police did not arrive after 10 minutes, he would continue to hit him.
Throughout the trial, Bai's tone of speech was normal and smooth, his thinking was clear, and he did not look sick.
Saying that he regretted it and that he did not want to die, he asked the court for a lighter sentence.
In the end, this man who was bent on death was sentenced to death, resulting in two deaths and one injury.
However, because he was involved in a depressive episode at the time of the case, the judicial appraisal was limited to his ability to be liable.
The prosecution charged the crime of "endangering public safety by dangerous means" instead of "intentional homicide".
Only Bai was sentenced to life imprisonment, plus compensation of 200,000 yuan for each deceased and 60,000 yuan for the injured.
Who will manage the "ticking time bomb".
Such people will not hesitate to kill the lives of others in order to die.
Moreover, the targets of the killings are selective, usually choosing the elderly, weak, sick and disabled or strangers who are easy to kill, and generally do not harm family members.
As social pressure continues to increase, so do the number of mentally ill patients.
Vicious cases caused by uncontrollable mental patients have occurred from time to time.
Psychopaths who have not undergone timely and effective ** are like unpredictable "ticking time bombs".
Moreover, "mental illness" has also become a favorable tool for "people with hearts" to take advantage of loopholes to escape legal punishment.
Article 18 of China's Criminal Law stipulates that a mentally ill person who causes harmful results when he is unable to recognize or control his own behavior shall not bear criminal responsibility if it is confirmed through legal procedures, but his family or guardian shall be ordered to take strict care and medical treatment. When necessary, by ** compulsory medical treatment.
Therefore, many mentally ill persons are exempted from criminal punishment because they do not have the legal capacity to be responsible after committing crimes.
One is to put them back into society and order their families and guardians to take strict care of them.
Otherwise, they are locked up in shelters, because shelters often do not have ** conditions, and they are sent home in the end.
This is tantamount to dropping a time bomb on society, who can guarantee that they will not be bombed all the time?
So I have never been able to understand why a mentally ill person is not criminally responsible for homicide.
Can't control your behavior just because you're having a psychotic episode? Not fully criminally responsible?
The impulse killing, the passion killing, is also because of not controlling one's emotions, and it must also be punished.
Whether it is mentally ill or underage, a mistake is a mistake, and a mistake will naturally be punished.
It was to be hoped that the law would be amended to remove the mitigating or exemption from punishment for crimes committed by mentally ill persons.
The implementation of natural human rights and equality for all can not only solve the complex procedural problems of each mental illness forensic evaluation, but also prevent certain wealthy classes and unscrupulous judges and lawyers from taking the opportunity to help criminals evade punishment.
After sentencing, mildly mentally ill convicts are to serve their sentences outside of prison and continue to be supervised by their family members or guardians or prisons;
In severe cases, prisons for mentally ill offenders should be established.
How to sentence a mentally ill person for homicide? What do you think?
