“Unfit to stand trial” is an offshoot of Hanlon’s Razor. “The only person who would do such an evil thing is someone who is mentally ill, so anyone who commits such a crime is automatically unfit to stand trial.”
It’s the same logic that permits mothers an excuse to murder they’re own children and then receive a reduced sentence.
Obviously, bad actors flock to such reasoning as a reliable plausible justification for their own evil. That’s why a rational society does not soften punishments based on such arguments. People are dishonest, and criminals doubly so. If you need to punish a few actual retards - who still committed heinous crimes, mind you - in order to make sure that “fully cognizant liars” are properly dealt with, then so be it.
Retards should be even more liable for punishment/execution. If someone can't control their own actions they should be executed for the greater good and safety of others.
Someone in control of themselves is also liable, but at least they could be expected to repent of their ways and change. Violent Retards are just a ticking time bomb

They're certainly unfit to be in society either way. At best they should be lobotomized and dumped in a padded cell.
