Hearing Oct. 30 in Mitchell document fight

Just try him already. Whether he is sane or not does not mean he shouldn't be tried for the charges against him. Bleeding-hearts and criminal rights activists have made our judicial system a meaningless farce and should have their own sanity evaluated. If BM is found to be insane, does that mean he should be treated more gently or released into society sooner than he would potentially be otherwise if found guilty?

This is stupid. The purpose of Mitchell's competency hearing is to see if he's truly incompetent or if he's playing the system. It's shouldn't be about judicial procedures or the ego's of the stupid attorneys & what they can do to keep the pending trial in limbo for as ong as they can.

How much money has this ordeal cost the Utah tax payers??? Mitchell should be responsible for repayment for wasting the courts time with the incompetent nonsense.

Is it possible to be innocent by reason of premeditated insanity?

Public trial. Public records.
If he really is incapable of knowing right from wrong he belongs in the mental institution until he is either cured, able to fit in society or kept there for his own protection. Forced medication for the sake of a trial and then back in is a farce.
