Insanity and Responsibility

The London Spectator speaks as follows
concerning the defence of insanity in
criminal cases:
AT the best we can only make a slrewd
guess at these questions of responsibility.
For anything we know, many men who
seem responsible for their crimes are not
really SO responsible; their education may
be responsible for these crimes, and not the
men themselves. For anything we know,
again, many men who do not seem respon-
sible for their crimes, really are so. 1t is
only on a reasonable presumption we can
reach at the best. But if that presumption
is to founded solely or chiefly on the criminal
act itself, there is an end at once of all
chance of intimidating unprofessional and
exceptional criminals. They will always
be able to count on escaping the conse-
quences of their crime by the help of the
apparent eccentrcity of it and the favor of
the doctors. Nothing can be more danger
Gus. We confess to the deepest distrust of
professional medical opinions on this sub
ject, if only for the reason we have named,
that the experience of medical men is
limited so much to cases of diseased brain,
that their imagination and their memory
are dominated by the precedents of ply steal
disease till they can hardly be said to have
any opportunity of really impartial judg-
ment. If they have thoroughly broken
down the obsolete and quite untenable
legal doctrine on the subject, they have set
up precedents of their own which are still
more dangerous and still less reason.
able on the other side. The public must
beware of professional bias on this subject,
whether legal or medical. For this is
eminently a subject where the evidence Of
specialists may be useful. but the judg-
ment of specialists is utterly untrust-
worthy.
