        Learned today that Fromme brought an apple to her sentencing, then nailed the U.S. Attorney in the face with it upon hearing his recommendation

        People object to this -- but the mostly state laws that they were imprisoned under permit it. Prominent example is Laurence Tribe who objects to Sihan's imminent release. If you're for the rule of law, then these are decisions for parole boards. If you object, change the law.

        I knew someone who was paranoid, psychotic, and delusional, who missed being a murderer by inches, by luck. After a year of treatment they had a complete recovery. Got their career on track, got married, had kids. I not only want to believe people can be helped, I've seen it.

        On the other hand, I was one of the people they sent death threats to, before their incarceration and treatment. In subsequent years I sometimes found myself in a room with them, and even knowing that after treatment and on medication they were doing really well, it was not easy.
