mentor? role model? Something like that. It's from Karma Chameleon, when she's talking on the couch with the other girl.
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Our wings are not tired.
Maybe they should give folks drugs to make them sane long enough to decide whether they'd rather stand trial or stay insane indefinitely.
If treatment results in a sane she that understands how wrong the insane she's behavior was, then sane she can plead insanity for the previously insane she's actions, if she is sane enough to consider this defense.

Oh, oh, right! It's, uh... maybe icon? Or it could be role model. Something.

AND I finally won a free iTunes song for drinking diet pepsi. Phew.
Only just now, Jesse? I've won, like fifteen songs off of iTunes from Pepsi. I must be stealing all your songs.
I'd give them back, but I already downloaded them. They're mine, and you can't have them.
And yeah, forcibly drugging the crazy lady may sound awful, but since she's on trial, the alternative is actually worse. It needs to happen, whether she wants it or not.

On the other, she did commit a crime and thereby forfeited a good chunk of rights.
I don't know that I necessarily agree with this in all cases. If she committed the crime while insane, how could she have forfeited those rights?
Also, if she wasn't medicated and she stood trial and was convicted and then at a later date returned to her sanity, couldn't she sue the state for not making sure she comprehended the charges?
That's exactly why she has to be declared competent before they'll let her stand trial.

Oooh, not to jump on you, but the whole point of our legal system is that you don't forfeit your rights just because you commit a crime. You'll lose rights after you're convicted of a crime, but not until then.
