I took 4 yrs of psych, my Ex suffered from mental illness and I'm a mother. I've always been torn about the death penalty, & that the courts, police, etc make drastic mistakes. However in a death penalty argument at first the documentary kept my attention & ppl the interviewed majority made some good arguments. However in this case, I believe the jurors got it right, there is evil that is obvious in others and evil the worst that is disguised so well fam members are in shock so seek for answers bc he was always such a "good guy" expression of wolf in sheep's clothing. I was in awe of the dignity yet pain displayed by the TRUE VICTIM fam, & I don't believe Johnny Johnson fell through the cracks. I believed he found the cracks & used opportunities people w/o mental disease wouldn't think of. If you want compassion for mental disease, you have a responsibility to acknowledge it properly and take care of it. But he chose meth, and murder. Prob first documentary about the death penalty, it took a while through it that I believed it was warranted. The world feels some type of need to deflect accountability, to me perfect example. Vry sad example, but Casey is the only true victim & she didn't get to have jurors decide her fate. Only 1 man took that upon himself. Mental disease does need to be a priority but it's not to be a get out of jail card. Patients know they have a disease & take responsibility to help themselves as I did w cancer.
