Sons and parents

[Eva Elisabeth]

My main objection is the way he dealt with her and had her confined - worse than a criminal. If MTL was that insane visibly to everyone, why not at least a "fair" (less humiliating) trial with a neutral jury and the chance for her to prepare a defense and present witnesses on her behalf? (Because he feared she wasn't insane enough to lose this way???)

He could have suggested to her to confine herself for treatment into an asylum for some time and/or seek professional help voluntarily adding he found it necessary and saw no other option and would take respective action if she didn't consent. Then he would at least have acted openly and fairly. If she was that insane a neutral jury probably would have come to the same judgement.
