For one thing, Hur did not at all say this. More importantly, a prosecutor does not have the power to determine this regardless.

A psychologist follows a strict criteria for determining this. They have to speak directly with the accused. Then a JUDGE rules on the matter based off that recommendation.

Let’s not twist words, shall we?


An opinion piece from the tabloid Washington Post is not to be taken seriously.

Your ilk lives by twisting-redefining words. :rolleyes-41:
Personally, I believe that Slow Joe Biden should be charged, he did his crime when he knew
what the fucking day of the week it was.

I'm not really interested in WaPo printing a story in their "Poltics" section, and running interference for the Administration, while the establishment hasn't released the transcript of the interview to The Wall Street Journal or the New York Post.

When that happens? THEN the nation can collectively decide whether it is. . . . "an absurd narrative."

Why don't we all read the transcript, and decide together? Hmmm?????

Better yet, why not just post the video of the deposition?

:dunno:

Yup.

They can't have this both ways.

He is either guilty. . . or senile.
 
He is guilty and senile
Perhaps.

But parsing out which is which, and where one ends, and what has caused which behavior. . . might be a legal challenge. I think that is the point of this report.

What Happens when People with Dementia Commit Crimes?​

When criminal behavior overlaps with degenerative cognitive disease, the justice system often falters

". . . . Most dementia-related transgressions do not land the guilty party in prison or even in front of a jury. Guilt has two properties: that a person committed the crime and that they intended to do so. The latter, known as mens rea, is usually missing when dementia patients violate the law. Charges are typically dropped once the police, the victim or the prosecuting attorney realizes that a defendant is not of sound mind.

Still, a portion of older individuals who commit crimes because a neurodegenerative disorder has warped their sense of acceptable behavior do end up incarcerated. Mendez recalled a patient of his who was arrested for touching a child in a way that would have been acceptable (“something like patting on the head,” he explained) if the patient had known the child. Another patient went to jail for taking something trivial from a store. In 2021 a 67-year-old man with Alzheimer's spent several months in an Oklahoma jail for allegedly stealing a car, even though it was clear to the arresting officer that the man didn't understand why he was being pulled over and was confused about where he was.

Jalayne Arias, who studies health policy and behavioral sciences at the School of Public Health at Georgia State University, wanted to know how attorneys handle people who are arrested for offenses stemming from their dementia, including how they discern whether the disease is what led to the criminal activity. She interviewed 15 attorneys between 2020 and 2021, and their responses (which will be published soon in the American Journal of Law and Medicine) indicated to Arias that the criminal justice system lacks a consistent approach for screening older offenders for dementia.. . . . "


Myself? What I find suspect in all of this. . . is why the hell the transcript, & the video of the interview, haven't just been released to the public.

It is, after all, all done on tax-payer dime.

Why do we all need so-called, "experts," to spin - spin - spin - spin - spin all of the question and answering of this?

I dunno know much about the law. . . I'm just an average ignorant joe. I dunno. But this is the POTUS. Why shouldn't the public just see him under oath answering the damn questions? Or hear the tape?? Or at least read it?

I suspect if it were Trump, we would've heard or seen a transcript by now.


There's no reason for all this secrecy IMO. .. It just stinks.
