Talk:The Professor

Comment
The outcome here bothers me somewhat.

After the mind dump and the determination of his various psychosis I would think the legal system itself would become his guardian, and thus the very fact that he was able to attack the judge would be a failure on their part rather than an act attributable to the professor.

Alternatively, while I don't particularly have problems with insanity not being a defense I do think the Union would forcibly treat him in order that he could meaningfully participate in his trial, in the condition he is in as presented in "The Non-Cits of Blue Moon" he is simply in no condition to do that (he might be capable of communication but he is not capable of telling truth from delusion). And after being so treated he would then have no reason to attack the judge.
