Prosecutors in Colorado plan to drop charges against a registered sex offender accused of trying to kidnap a child from an elementary school because he was found incompetent to stand trial.
The 33-year-old faces one count of attempted kidnapping after he allegedly tried to take an 11-year-old boy during recess at Black Forest Hills Elementary School in April 2024.
After his arrest, Galligan underwent a mental competency evaluation that determined he was unfit to stand trial. As a result, prosecutors claimed they have no choice but to drop the charges.
School district officials conducted an investigation, where former Black Forrest Hills Elementary School Principal Amanda Replogle was replaced, the outlet reported.
Another day, another dindu getting off while females fail yet again on even the most basic security measures
Being considered unfit is an arbitrary bar that can come and go depending on all sorts of subjective nonsense. Its basically a "temporary insanity" defense for most who use it.
I mean, the entire point of having that exception was "so toss em in the psyche ward instead of prison." So that they are either made competent enough to be in society (getting a schizo medicated) or they are put somewhere not incredibly cruel for a retard (those who can't be made to function).
Problem being, we gutted psyche wards and activists judges are taking the first half without the necessary followup.

How was he judged previously if he's unfit to stand trial

Ah.. then they should have their "freedom temporarily restricted" until they're competent enough to participate in society.
