It’s amazing that some people seem to fail to grasp that the insanity verdict applied to his state of mind at the time of the shooting, almost 3 years ago.
Delusional for a very short period of time two and a half years ago does not equate to automatically delusional or insane forever. Pretty simple concept, shouldn’t be that hard to grasp.
AND, as long as he’s sitting in jail without access to his COURT ORDERED evaluation, contrary to NJ law, How would anyone know what his state of mind and mental health is? He could be deemed not a danger and be released. Or, he could be ordered to undergo further treatment. But until someone gets the dang ball rolling, how will anyone, including MB know?
Perhaps call their state legislator and also contact the NJ Attorney General’s office. I don’t know if either of them can do anything though - esp. if MB is not a NJ resident. Another thought is to contact the local media outlets. I would think it could make for an interesting news story and a piece on the evening news might help get wheels turning.
Those are all really good ideas. Personally, though, I don’t want to step on the toes of his attorneys. They’ve taken good care of him so far. I have to trust they’ll do what’s best going forward. I just really want to know what that is! And, if Mr B puts a call out for a campaign to media, etc I’ll jump on board.
No. Defense expert says he WAS delusional. At the time. 2.5 years ago. Hence NGRI. That does not necessarily mean he’s a risk due to his mental health now.
They are supposed to be determining that in the initial 30-day assessment which should be half over at this point. Instead he is still locked up in jail.
