Here we see the all-purpose “mental illness” deflection being used to aid a jihadi in evading responsibility for her crimes. It has happened many times before.
What do you bet they all walk before this is over? Given the current political climate regarding jihad terrorism, this is quite possible, even likely.
“Terrorism suspect hospitalized,” by John Miller, Taos News, October 24, 2019:
A U.S. District Court judge in Albuquerque has ordered one of the five people arrested last year at the makeshift compound near the Colorado border in Taos County to be hospitalized after finding her mentally unfit to stand trial.
Following a hearing held on Oct. 15, Chief U.S. District Court Judge William Johnson found that Jany Leveille suffers from a “mental disease or defect” rendering her unable to understand the charges she faces, court proceedings related to her charges and incapable of assisting in her own defense.
Leveille, who is an undocumented immigrant from Haiti, will initially be hospitalized for a maximum period of four months. If doctors determine she could eventually become competent to stand trial, they will continue to work with her for an “additional reasonable period of time” and may even require her to consume medication to help her attain competency.
Leveille and her four co-defendants – Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, Hujrah Wahhaj, Subhanah Wahhaj and Lucas Morton – were first taken into custody by the Taos County Sheriff’s Office at the compound near Amalia on Aug. 3, 2018. The raid was conducted to search for Siraj Ibn Wahhaj’s missing 3-year-old son, Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj, who was reported missing by his mother in Georgia in 2017. But while officers rescued 11 other children found living at the squalid dwelling, they found the toddler’s remains buried in a makeshift tunnel dug below the property during another search three days later.
Prosecutors have alleged that the child had suffered from a form of epilepsy, but that Leveille and Siraj Ibn Wahhaj believed he was possessed by evil spirits. Authorities say they denied the child medication he had been prescribed by a doctor and instead subjected him to religious rituals comparable to exorcisms. It is alleged that the Wahhaj toddler died during one of the rituals on Christmas Eve 2017, shortly after the group arrived at the compound.
An electronic journal recovered from the compound, allegedly written by Leveille, suggested that she saw herself as a religious prophet for the group and believed that the deceased toddler would be resurrected to instruct them on the government institutions they were to attack and destroy.
The sheriff’s office and members of the FBI also recovered numerous firearms, a stockpile of ammunition, a shooting range and other evidence to suggest the adults were preparing to carry out terrorist attacks on government institutions….

of course they are mentally ill – for their ideology of hate ! sadly they always get away with it – Germanistan almost never sentence anyone of them for they are mentally ill – but smart enough to cheat for benefits and slaughter infidels , build bombs etc ….. A shame for those who suffer from mental illness REALLY — it’s only a way to get Muzzies get away with everything they do !

She’s in the hospital? I thought she was a member of Congress.
Christopher Watson says
Although I would normally agree with a death sentence for these crimes, in this case leniency would seem justified. A person with sort of low intelligence should be treated with understanding and committed to a hospital permanently. She is a danger to any community and should never be allowed to mingle with ordinary people without supervision.
Greyhound Fancier says
If she’s truly in the US illegally, why not return her to Haiti, and have the Haitians deal with her?
Westman says
“mental disease or defect” – another euphemism for low intelligence? If so, she will never be brought to trial and the “rehabilitation” has no chance of success. Can one sense that her mind conflates Islam and Black Magic?
somehistory says
Each state has a legal formula for arriving at whether or not a person is competent to stand trial, and whether a person is insane at the time of the crime; whether they understand that what they did at the time they did it, was wrong. There are only a few “formulas’ (and a name for each), and each state chooses the one that best fits their jurisdiction.
Because moslims believe that everything they do and say is always correct…never wrong…even when it is wrong, illegal, immoral, unethical, stupid, etc., how can any judge or doctor determine whether a moslim “understands” right from wrong?
They can be fully aware, have knowledge of, and disdain for, the laws governing such things as kidnapping, caring for, or abusing, a child, lying, obtaining weapons, etc….and fully know they are breaking those laws when they do what they do. They just don’t care.
For an example: the male moslims who murder their daughters for “dishonoring” the creep, don’t believe the law applies to them, but because they **know** the law says this is wrong, they hide the facts of the matter for as long as they can. They lie, they deny, they run and hide from what they know is a crime to the rest of the population…even though they believe they had the ‘right’ to murder.
Now this creepy woman…”undocumented immigrant “…an illegal, a person in the country illegally… didn’t announce to the world at large…or the community in Taos…that she was a ‘prophetess’ and that the child should be starved and tortured, that she should kill him, and was working on doing just that, believing that he would be resurrected and tell them how to overthrow the government.
She hid the facts from the public. That shows she knew what she was doing was illegal…wrong in the eyes of the law. She should stand trial and do so immediately. And so should all of the others.

Consider David Berkowitz aka Son of Sam. He believed that his neighbours dog Sam was telling him to go about killing people. He also decided that if Sam said so, he, David Berkowitz, should go kill people. That was his decision, the one for which he got held responsible. (Paragraph) Now consider the Muslim For the Muslim the moral quality of any act is determined by one simple inquiry: what does the scripture tell him to do? For the Muslim the second half of Berkowitzs reasoning, above, does not exist. Scripture is to the Muslim what Sam the dog was to Berkowitz. No individual decisionmaking in the cult. K 33:37 inter alia. (Paragraph) Islam is essentially amoral. She got the psychology and the ethics right. It remains for competent kafir authorities to determine whether she gets to do this and walk free. Meanwhille she and her kind drain millions if not billions of dollars of the public monies buying her exquisitely expensive accommodations. She inflicts far more damage on civilised society alive than she would if she had got her treasured martyrdom. Oh and yey Yanks, if you paid federal income taxes, youre paying for all this now, including hot and cold running imams to strenghthen her faith. Apologies for typos, hardware still wont let e edit.

Would not it be easier and cheaper to deport her back to Haiti if she is by court standards unable to stand trail ?She is an illegal alien who commit a felon ,being of low IQ or believing your some kind of “prophet ” does not excuse her of murder.
Angemon says
Send her back.

Judge finds that Muslima arrested in New Mexico jihad compound has “mental disease,” unfit to stand trial
…………………
Funny how this Muslim “mental illness” always runs along exactly the same lines…
Battle says
Court’s psychiatrist or psychologist says “mental disease or defect.”
No “defect,” she kept an “electronic journal.”
Battle says
Robert Spencer: +1

Average Muslim IQ = 80. Under US Law if IQ is less than 83, verdict is ‘Not Guilty by reason of Mental Defect.’ But would you let these retards out & about in your Society getting heaps of Welfare Payments?
