Frederick Williams Ruled Insane (Not Guilty)

No matter how many times I say this. It seems to get lost in the mix. I am not condoning anybody taking anybody's life, under any circumstance. The unlawful taking of another person's life, is simply wrong. Except where it is approved under the law. Protecting ones self and their family, and in the commission of law enforcement. There are provisions set forth, to protect the law abiding citizens rights. My opinion also doesn't include capital punishment either. Obviously insanity is a plea that you can use also. That is the one being used, in this particular case. Judge Arthur Bennett is a man, of integrity and character. I respect his opinion. I know it is based on the law.

I don't know all the facts of this case, so I can't make an educated decision. I don't think we'll ever hear all the specifics, of this trial. I don't think he could have possibly gotten a fair jury trial, with jurors from Memphis. Considering the fact he killed his wife. A deputy sheriff, and two other firemen. Emotions would have taken over. The instructions were best left to a Judge. It worked to the advantage of the defense. I will say this though. In every rumor, there is at least a grain of truth. The rumor I heard, contained accusations of infidelity. Out of respect for those left behind. I won't repeat that rumor here. I must admit it raises serious questions though. Regardless of whether we agree or not, that is the Judges decision.
