"John Darrell, said his troubled client had a 'long, long history of mental illness' and no memory of the brutal attack." He shows his ignorance of the privacy interests of his client, joining prosecutors and journalists. Of what value is it to reveal his client's medical records at an arraignment? Why do journalists repeat this obscenity? There is no rational reason. Notifying the Court of potential use of an insanity defense is required, but not at an arraignment. Journalists and prosecutors sensationalize disability to demonize suspects. They slur all persons ever accused of mental illness, a legal disability. Using medical records of disability indicates a lack of respect for his client's rights. But also the defense attorney shows his own bias suggesting that the history of disability is the cause of the violence. He shows his lack of awareness that psychiatric drugs are known to cause violence. Even the drug company controlled FDA requires a warning label on the bottle for these drugs. Why is there no recognition that the toxic drugs may be what caused the violent reaction of this suspect? The drug company lobbyists perpetuate a fraud on the public and the taxpayer funded government and courts. One more element of the elected career criminal political class.
