schizofrenia nu inlatura caracterul penal al faptei in unele tari civilizate

Inspirata fiind de speta "hartuire" de pe forum si a vesnicei mele probleme in privinta reglementarii avand ca principiu de baza "alegerea raului mai mic" , am decis sa pun in discutie tema iresponsabilitatii diagnosticate ca si cauza care inlatura caracterul penal al faptei.
In legislatia RO, conf.art.31 C.pen. "nu constituie infractiune fapta prevazuta de legea penala, daca faptuitorul, in momentul savarsirii faptei, fie din cauza alienatiei mintale, fie din alte cauze, nu putea sa-si dea seama de actiunile sau inactiunile sale, ori nu putea fi stapan pe ele."
Nu si in Texas :
Textul original: Paranoid schizophrenic executed in Texas
By Kate Randall
24 January 2000
Larry Keith Robison, 42, was put to death on Friday, January 21, despite pleas to Texas Governor George W. Bush to spare the life of the mentally ill man. He died by lethal injection in Huntsville Friday evening. The European Union, Pope John Paul II and the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill had called on Bush to halt the execution.
Larry Robison, a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, was convicted and sentenced to death for the murders of five people in 1982, carried out while he was in a psychotic state. Robison's mother, Lois, had repeatedly sought treatment for her son, but was unable to find affordable psychiatric help in Texas. Because her son was unemployed and over 21 he was not covered by his parents' medical insurance and they couldn't pay the enormous cost of private mental health care.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals issued a stay of execution in Robison's case last August 17, ordering a lower court to hold a hearing to determine whether Robison was mentally competent to be executed under Texas law. State law says that a prisoner must be coherent enough to understand why he is being put to death, but does not prohibit execution of those who are mentally ill at the time of the crime. The lower court ruled that Robison understood the nature of his punishment and therefore could be put to death.
At Robison's two criminal trials juries never heard evidence of his mental illness. The assistant district attorney who prosecuted his case commented, “There are an awful lot of people diagnosed as schizophrenic that aren't killing people.”

TRADUCERE : Schizofrenic paranoic executat in Texas

Larry Keith Robison, 42, a fost executat vineri, 21 ianuarie, in ciuda rugamintilor adresate catre Guvernatorul statului Texas, George W. Bush in sensul de a cruta viata barbatului bolnav psihic. A murit prin administrarea injectiei letale vineri dimineata, in Huntsville. Uniunea europeana, Papa Ioan Paul II si Alianta nationala a bolnavilor mentali au apelat la Bush pentru a se stopa executia.
Larry Robison, dignosticat cu schizofrenie paranoica, a fost condamnat la moarte si executat pentru uciderea in 1982 a cinci persoane, crime pe care le-a comis in stare de psihoza.. Mama lui Robison, Lois, cautase in repetate randuri forme de tratament pentru fiul ei, dar nu a gasit suport psihiatric pe care si l-ar fi putut permite in statul Texas. Deoarece fiul ei implinise 21 ani si era somer, polita de asigurare a parintilor nu putea acoperi cheltuielile, iar parintii nu au putut plati costurile enorme ale ingrijirilor psihiatrice din sistemul de sanatate privat.
Curtea penala de apel din Texas a ordonat suspendarea executiei in speta Robison in luna august, dand dispozitie unei curti inferioare sa organizeze o audiere cu scopul de a determina daca Robison era mental competent pentru a fi executat sub jurisdictia Texana. Legislatia texana prevede ca inculpatul trebuie sa fie suficient de coerent sa inteleaga motivul condamnarii sale la moarte, dar nu interzice executia celor care sunt bolnavi psihic in momentul savarsirii crimei. Curtea inferioara a statuat ca Robinson a inteles natura pedepsei si implicit, poate fi executat.
In cadrul celor doua procese penale ale lui Robison, juratilor nu li s-a adus nicio proba in sensul dovedirii bolii sale. Procurorul care a instrumentat cazul sau a declarat : “ Sunt o sumedenie de oameni care desi diagnosticati cu o forma de schizofrenie nu ucid oameni. “

Care din cele doua reglementari vi se pare mai corecta ? Cu empatia absolut necesara, va rog... Transpuneti-va si in rolul mamei bolnavului schizofrenic (parca si Dostoievski era...), cat si in rolul mamei victimei.
Multumesc anticipat pentru toate raspunsurile pertinente.
