With all due respect, and not specifically addressed to any particular post…… but IMO mention and introduction of mental health (MH) issues - in terms of either the accused LM, or the individual that attempted to free him - and alluding to either a cause or reason or excuse for such behavior is wrong. And in particular without any evidentiary or other validation.
It is also a disservice and deprecating to any that might suffer from such conditions - and who don’t do criminal acts or offenses such that these two are accused of doing. IANAL. MOO
