We can’t just overlook mental illness of King Soopers shooter Re: “Guilty on 55 counts,” Sept. 24 news story Insanity and being possessed by demons are antiquated terms for describing “mad” behavior. While the medical world is stressing awareness of mental illness and the availability of treatment, Boulder’s lawyer establishment forged forward to obtain a guilty of murder verdict on a person judged to be mentally ill at the time of the King Soopers shooting but who was then drugged sufficiently to be called sane enough to stand trial. Schizophrenia can be treated with drugs, but this after-the-fact judgment seems more an act of vengeance than humanely dealing with medical reality.
