The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Some of the most horrible crimes in the 20th century, mostly ones that deal with one or mutable killings, were committed by people that were mentally unstable or unable to think or act reasonable unlike the rest of the people in the world. In other words, these people were considered insane. When it comes to these criminals being tried, the question comes up: is a punishment …

…and still did it. That is why I think Dr. Jekyll should be punished the same as sane criminals. I believe that crimes committed by insane criminals cannot be justified because of the insane persons understanding of the matter. It isn’t fair to give the same punishment to these insane people as it would for a sane person. There are always exceptions though, as The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde shows.
