    He should be in a hospital for the criminally Insane not a prison.

    He's not insane.

    He's not retarded.

    He's just slow and a criminal to boot.

    Yes, it does. He didn't understand what he was doing. He should be in a mental hospital.

    Texas, unfortunately, doesn't have a law against imprisoning or giving the death penalty to the mentally retarded.

    "The judge said neither he nor jurors liked the idea of prison for Hart but they felt there was no other option."

    The above quote says a little something about Texas. This guy should not be in prison and also should not be out in the public. That is a huge problem if their is no other solution.

    The problem is the guy doesn't have a treatable mental illness per se. He wasn't diagnosed with schizophrenia or PTSD or bipolar disorder or something you can treat. The guy was just born slow, so I don't think sentencing to a mental hospital option was a possibility for this guy.

    He's not mentally competant to understand what's going on with the court, let alone the act, and in Canada that means he would be free to go.

    Which would even be worse. 8O He doesn't have the capability to understand what he did was wrong and doesn't have a medical problem which could be corrected by treatment. Unfortunately this is the best option for the protection of society.

    He would be declared NCR and would be committed to a forensic psychiatric unit.. and probably released to monitored community living when stable... or not.. there are some in our facility who have been there for 20 yrs
