Document Summary
Officer quintiliano, he shot his wife with 10 bullets after she filed for divorce. He pleaded temporary insanity because he was on diet pills and suffered from amphetamine psychosis. Depends on what you consider to be cured. He could have been cured from the psychosis but not from his wife killing tendencies. Lorena bobbit- cuts her husband"s penis and throws it out on the road. Ii: she said that he repeatedly raped her he was found not guilty on insanity defense, she"s fine today and is remarried and has kids, curing domestic violence- 55 to 45 males to female. Female are also engaging in domestic violence: 97% of perpetrators in dv facilities are males, most of these people if arrested don"t serve time. In reality we see less than this: national depression study- took patients with depression one group did one-hour therapy and the other group talked for an hour but not about therapy things.
