We live in a society where no one wants to takes responsibility for their actions. The legal system perpetuates this thinking, where 'being found not guilty' is the objective, rather than finding the truth of a matter and then having it handled in a just way. It's a very imperfect system, and to be honest, pleading insanity due to bipolar, it brings all who suffer from this MI into disrepute.
