PSYCHIATRY ON THE STAND

Psychiatry continues to lend a great disservice to jurisprudence in Canada.

Vince Li beheaded and then mutilated and cannibalized a man on a Greyhound Bus.

But psychiatrist Stanley Yaren has testified that Li is Not Criminally Responsible and should therefore be confined to a mental institution - not prison - "possibly for his entire life."

Possibly???

This raises the very possible spectre - given the track record of Corrections Canada and the National Parole Disservice - that Li will one day be walking amongst us.

Will someone please make an effort to get shrinks out of the court room?
