Been wondering about this…
Lets assume we have a person who is paralyzed from the neck down. He can talk, but can’t move any of his body parts. If this person orders the murders of, lets say, 10 people, and his life expectancy is long, how would you punish him?
If this person is found guilty of murder in a court, would they lock him up? If so, how would you lock up a paralyzed person? Has this been done before?
(Not talking about people who are in wheelchairs. We’re talking paralyzed from neck down).
There is a big problem in the punishment, because in prison he will be deprived of his necessary medical attention. Probably the prosecutors won’t prosecute him to save money to the tax payers. Not everyone can be punished by their crimes like when they are mentally unfit or death!.
Jail, if they killed someone, they deserve to go to jail, regardless if they are paralyzed.
give him the chair
He would not need to be put in a regular prison. He is not mobile enough to need the bars and the supervision. Some sort of hospital or institution would probably be best.
He goes to prison, like anyone else. Maybe not in the general prison population, but in prison nonetheless.
I charged a man in a wheelchair with shoplifting for drinking a soda w/o paying…he went to jail and was fined 500.00 and got 6 months probation….the law applies equally
They would go to prison like anyone else, but probably spend their time in the medical ward.
No one that disabled is going to be able to "order" anyone to do anything.
Put yourself in the person’s shoes of a family member of the victim. Now does your opinion change? It doesn’t matter what disabilities they have, they did the crime.
lol i don’t think the jail guards are ready for him
It’s a crime to hire/order somebody else to commit murder. Why you would punish someone differently for that crime because they’re paralyzed is something I don’t understand.
People in wheelchairs go to jail. The jail or prison just has to be able to accomodate their daily needs.
its already happened, regardless that the person is paralyzed they give them the same punishment as they would another except for physical punishment.
then i would paralize his motherf^cken head for all i care
if you are paralyzed from the neck down, how do you kill someone.
you couldnt get people to do it for you bc then they would get arrested too.
well.,. assuming he did anyways, he should go to jail because its still murder.
like it would bother him
They have special prisons for convicts with special needs, they would probably give the person life if not the death penalty.
what did he do, bite someones penis off??? . . . i saw an episode simlar to this wituation on House md
If it is possible for them to do the crime, it is possible for them to do the time. There are wards in most states that are able to handle most any type of medical condition. After all those who are given only 6 months to live could still end up in jail or prison.
Could be put in a prison hospital. Or the needle.
Sorry, but I think they are just as responsible for their actions as anyone else, it doesn’t matter how their body works, it all starts in the mind! They should be treated just like any other criminal. Prisons have hospitals and they can take care of a criminal with this type of problem, or the Court can send this person to a special hospital prison where the care is adequate to keep him/her alive without minimizing their quality of life.
? dont do it ,you could be foetus in the states and still be guilty
Drizzle honey all over his face, then unleash a thousand red ants onto his face; daily.
If he solicited the commission of a criminal offense, he’s going down.
I’d sentence him to home detention for life, rather than take on the responsibility for his medical care for the rest of his life. Terms of detention would include the traditional ones imposed on probationers and parolees.
so what? he still did it. Hed go to jail just like everyone else it was his fault he commited the crime.
I remember hearing of a case which I think was in Colorado but can’t be possitive that he was a quadrapalegic . It was done by this guy and his brother. And yes they bother were locked up.
he can still be sentence to the penetentiary, but he will likely not go to county while awating trial or after conviction pending appeal. there are no statutory exeptions for disabled criminals. there is a min and max for murder in every state the judge does not have discretion. he has to atleast give the person the min.
He’s considered to be the same as anybody else. That’s why they have hospitals in prisons.
I hate disabled people. They’re so lazy.
the law applies equally…the place of incarceration varies
HE would be charged with Assyria to murder,or even .he would be sen cited to life in a mental
hospital,or even to death.the contract killer would
b e sent to prison to wait his death.
