MTL to be re-tried for insanity

[LincolnMan]

Roger, in Michigan most of the State mental health hospitals were closed about a decade ago. Those patients were released to the community at large. Many of them have symptoms comparable or, perhaps, even more severe than what MTL was alleged to have-and they are living in their communities. It doesn't surprise me if MTL was deemed to not have criteria by today's standards then. I have treated hundreds of patients who hear voices everyday and are delusional. They are not considered acute enough to be hospitalized. Even when they are hospitalized-its only for a few days. The days of being hospitalized for extended periods of time are pretty much over.
