"The Poitiers Court of Appeal is hearing the cases of two defendants diagnosed with schizophrenia. One case involves violence and death threats; the other, attempted theft involving property damage. How might their condition have influenced their behavior at the time of the offenses? And, above all, how will the judges factor this mental illness into their ruling? This report sheds light—once again—on the complexities of the judicial process. According to health statistics, 600,000 people in France—or 1% of the population—suffer from this condition. However, it is impossible to determine the exact number of psychotic individuals who appear in court each year."
