SHRINKING THE LAW
When will we remove psychiatry - that most witchy pseudo-science - from our criminal justice system?
In the latest travesty in which a head doctor hijacks a courtroom, someone claiming to be an "expert" in sleep disorders, changed the entire outcome of a dangerous driving case in a local court.
A woman fell asleep while driving at 6:30 in the evening and killed a 5 year old.
The psychiatrist convinced the judge that the driver was suffering from "undiagnosed chronic insomnia."
How does he know this?
Why would the judge and a set of appeal judges give this man any credence?

A whole new industry has sprung up to ensure that no one is responsible for anything. If the insomnia crap hadn't been bought then her lawyer would have found some "expert" to explain how her abusive childhood caused her to fall asleep and kill the child. And if that didn't work then . . . .
Woe is us!
And we wonder why so many people have abandoned respect for the law, respect for police, for the courts...
