[00:42] DaemonFC They actually treat criminals better. [00:43] DaemonFC If you shoot your wife because she turned off the TV in the middle of the Cubs game, they give you a lawyer, a trial, the right to be there when it's happening. [00:43] DaemonFC If they want to put you in a state mental hospital, they have a hearing and you can't be there, and it's just a psychiatrist and a judge. [00:43] DaemonFC You ever wonder why that is? [00:44] DaemonFC Seems to me someone could write a law, if they wanted to, that gave you at least as many rights in court as a criminal if the state is accusing you of mental illness. [00:45] DaemonFC It would slow the system down too much though. The only reason the courts have to provide a lawyer to the criminally accused is due to a Supreme Court decision from the 1960s. [00:46] DaemonFC It's almost unimaginable that many states could go back to giving the accused no right to counsel at all if the Supreme Court reversed itself.
