I think the judge gave the max sentence. It was the parole board of poindexters in this case. And possibly the prosecutor not knowing/explaining to the jury that a retarded guilty for assault and not guilty for murder wouldn't result in institutionalization. I suspect if he was not guilty for both, then he might still be in the luny bin. But chances maybe same for the "mental health professionals" of letting him out. Maybe this ridiculousness is needed to pass some law to prevent retarded juries giving split insanity rulings like this again.
