Sanity is overrated and kind of unscientific because it's not an objective standard. Because of this, it's possible for a sick society to call a healthy woman "insane" because she's "different." You won't hear a credible medical professional speak in terms of sanity, they'll apply objective medical science instead. Therefore, the system of justice must also be rational and scientific, or it has reduced itself to "hunting witches."

This guy may be criminal, and he may be kooky, but let him receive equal justice.  By all means, try to find social and medical solutions as a matter of compassion, but unless he becomes evil and cruel, haven't we got bigger fish to fry in the triage of remedy for our present sociopolitical malaise? Besides, who knows? Maybe he really IS a shaman! I'm pretty sure that DA is not a credible authority on such spiritual matters.
