I believe that yes its sad that mentally ill people receive the death penalty, but its sad when anyone does. I think mentally ill people who commit crimes should not be treated differently because laws are made for a reason and there should not be exceptions. One bad thing that happens is when people are put on trial for murder they try to make the court believe they are Mentally ill to get out it. I don't think mentally ill people should be sentenced to death, but I think there should be a very strict line between being mentally ill and not when it comes to matters such as the death penalty. Its a very difficult issue but two of us agree that mental illness is a complete handicap and is not punishable by death though they should still take some consequence.
