INSANITY AS CRIMINAL EXCUSE

Twenty-Five years ago II was an
unusual thing. In American courts 10
hear the plea OF insanity as defense
in criminal cases. Then the accused
stood before the bar with IA plea OF
guilty or not guilty and the case was
tried on it's merits.
Today all is changed. The criminal,
now turns TO the insanity plea as the
last means TO soften his sentence or
to furnish a loophole for escape from
justice. Too often the plea works.
II Is practice that tends 10 under
mine law and order In this country.
How the criminal can atone for hts
sins when the lawyers are forever dig
ging up excuses that place the blame
elsewhere, is problemaucal. And as
long as It is a temporary safe haven
for the professional criminal 10 ride
out the storm. OF justice. he Will seek
the port OF insanity. Said Judge Kick

reverse Is true. AS n rule, men whC
are brought into my court for commit
