*********************************************************************

I do on this date hereby affix my name and signature in support of the pending legislation referred hereunto to as “Brian’s Law” that would expressly protect direct victims and families of residual injustice due to laws being so lapse in their total coverage.

I demand that lawmakers seek a way to prevent the possibility of “umbrella” coverage by the insanity plea being so freely and easily used by people who refuse to accept or take treatment for diagnosed mental and/or emotional illness. There must be prerequisites set and prior conditions met that would determine if an individual (s) could even claim this plea. I demand that the stages of investigation and evaluation be thoroughly done in a way that determines if the individual (s) charged was ever given or prescribed medication that altered or controlled emotional and mental traits in the person they were prescribed for and if so, to know if that individual had been taking them as ordered.

Many people who are prescribed personality or behavior altering medication willfully choose not to get or take them. I demand that if this is found to be the case, that individual (s) should then be considered capable of rational thought processes and capable of making life-affecting decisions. It should be considered that if they so choose to stop taking, never take, or neglect their dosing of such medication then they are making a knowing choice to cease the treatment that could prevent them from doing harm to another human being.

I demand that it be decreed that if a person is found to be in need of such medication and they choose to remain un-hospitalized to insure that they receive it, they are required by law to obtain and take it or face consequences. This should be done to ensure the safety of the general public at large. If at any time they are unable to obtain this medication for any reason whatsoever they shall be required to surrender them selves for supervised hospitalization to insure that they receive their medication as prescribed and their potentially fatal acts can be controlled.

If all of these priorities are set and none of the conditions are met, any individual (s) charged with violent crimes resulting in death or lifetime affect of another must then face the same possibilities of penalty as any knowing and able-bodied human being. There should be no special circumstances implemented in the defense, as they simply don’t apply.

I further demand that able bodied and clear minded bystanders who witness any violent act being planned and/or perpetrated yet do nothing must atone for their criminal complacency. It is tantamount to an act of wrongful death. It is simply unacceptable that a person should witness such atrocities and not even call out for help. There should be a sentence imposed of no less than 2500 hours of community service performed. If the violent act results in a death there may also be fines and prison time imposed. This mandate would be a revision based upon the Good Samaritan Law.

I certify by my signature that I am above the age of 18. I affirm that I am a legal citizen of the United States and I am now or do have the right to become a registered voter. I do fully support this proposed legislation and strongly encourage all lawmakers to act upon this call to heed.
