we must agree to differ on many issues

I can simply give my view on a couple of points in your response - firstly yes I do think that people with aspergers should be given at least as much protection as children. Secondly if someone with aspergers came into to my home which I had left unlocked then I would not want the law to put them in jail for it. I cannot say that I would feel that "at the time" which is precisely the reason why my views "at that time" should not be considered as they would not be rational.

Incidentally just to correct one issue, many people here do not feel that this should be dealt with by courts at all (it is the US that forced it to this) but IF it must be, then it would be less traumatic for him to be tried in the UK. You may feel that your country is fair and just but this is not an opinion held by many in the UK. As I said these perceptions may be wrong but the US does not go out of its way to put them right.

Any society which puts profit and protection at the top of almost every agenda (and to a large extent we do the same) is never going to be a fair society for all.
