HOly shit. Between this and the other day, coco is on my post-it.
I agree with @tooshort about "rehabilitation"
I was totally aware this would put me on a post it. So be it. But what was the other day? Oh and no such thing as absolute proof? You have got to be joking, or blind.
But proof you committed a crime and proof you're responsible for committing it are two different things. Mental health is a huge factor in this debate.
Yes, they are different things. No one is arguing that. That is not the discussion that was being had.
Yes, absolute proof that someone did something can exist. That alone does not determine the penalty- that is where mental state and extenuating circumstance come into play. But having a reason why you shot someone or why you cannot be held accountable for your actions does not eliminate that there is absolute proof that you did indeed shoot that person.
IMO absolute proof that someone committed an act, and absolute proof someone is guilty are two different things. I was discussing guilt.
coco, I don't remember, I just remember eyerolling a lot. My faulty memory is why I don't actually have post-its.

A little research shows me I was confusing you with toastie and her parents.
That's very dedicated of you to go to research. This is why I can't keep post-its, count scores or honestly remember who said what half the time. I do well to keep up with basic info on you all
