No mainstream news media sympathy for this mentally ill man, Michael Soares ?

Should not the LAW treat seriously mentally ill people equally ? Since when can FREE WILL and KNOWING RIGHT FROM WRONG function independently in a sick brain ? [WARWICK, R.I. (WPRI) — The man accused of killing a jogger in Warwick City Park nearly a decade ago allegedly admitted to attacking the victim, though he claims he did so “to save himself.” Michael Soares was arrested in February 2019 in connection with the death of 66-year-old John “Jack” Fay, whose body was found five years prior. Soares, whose bench trial began Wednesday in Kent County Superior Court, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Psychiatrist Dr. Patricia Recupero testified that Soares is mentally unwell and only attacked Fay because he believed he was in danger. “[He was] really led by thoughts that someone was going to kill him and that people could read his mind,” she explained. ] There was no mainstream news media sympathy for this mentally ill man , Michael Soares .
