Executing criminals who are mentally ill

As a group we believe that it is not right to execute a mentally ill person if he or she does not know what they are being executed for. If a mental person is to be kept of held somewhere they should be held in a mental hospital that could benefit them. We were surprised to find that even after the Supreme Court had ruled, in 2007, that a mentally ill patient should not be executed if they did not know what he or she was being executed for.
