Whats with this diminished responsibility, read and hear alot about it with murderers etc?
Seems to always be the case aswell, no one ever pleads guilty, yet they blatantly committed the crime?

Reading up, theres also no contest and alford, both of which you accept the crime or some thing along those lines? but more commonly or only accepted in the UK is guilty / not guilty

So how come junkies etc are not using these excuses when shoplifting, afterall they make out its the drug that made them do it.....

Funny, i was only googling why do judges wear wigs (tradition)
