Because logical healthy minds do not commit mass murder.
That’s why I don’t understand the “competent to stand trial” thing. People who murder multiple people that aren’t holding them captive (or similar) are not mentally competent.[/quote]
What about someone who commits a single murder? Does a logical, healthy mind commit a single murder?[/quote]
I think there are more reasonable situations where a single murder could be committed than multiple murders. It gets into more of a gray area. Perceptions of self defense can come into play as well as other situations. But yeah there can be cases where a single murder is done by a logical healthy mind. There are also cases where it is done with an unhealthy mind. It’s not as clear cut as going out and shooting everyone who happens to be in a particular building at a particular time. That’s always an unhealthy mind.
