Not quite accurate. In Canada, a ruling of not criminally responsible due to mental disease or defect means that the person deemed NCR is not acquitted but also not considered culpable (as to be culpable one must have committed a wrongful act actus reus and had the intent to commit a wrongful act mens rea - if one is NCR it is because they are incapable of possessing mens rea). Someone deemed NCR they are remanded to a secure mental health facility for an indefinite period of time, which is to say until they are deemed no longer a threat... could be 10 days, could be until death. Interestingly... only 7.5% if persons released after an NCR ruling are ever convicted of a criminal offense thereafter.
Canada? This is AMERICA....

The killer flipped a coin before the slaying I'm sure.

yeah, some criminals don't realise this and can get locked up for far longer than a simple murder conviction.

As a former law grad, I must say I like where this thread is heading.

haha oops that's poor editing on my part. I wrote former law student then decided that was ambiguous and was meant to change it to law grad. I got the degree but not practicing its just some pretty letters on my resume.
