No one derserves to die at the hand of another. But it wouldn't cost so much if there were better mental health services for people BEFORE they go crazy.

Naoradix - many times mental health issues are used by the defence just as an excuse, with this one we do not know

@nedkelly: there's no law in the USA that says a mentally ill person has to take the prescribed medication...they won't do anything with them until someone calls the police and they determine that they could be a threat to someone or their self and then they'll take them in for an evaluation. A lot of times they've had treatment and refused to take care of themselves and this is what results.
