Do they mean limited financial capacity - or mental capacity.

Overall, I dunno. Maybe it's best that there be charges in order to set a precedent. However - dependant on the circumstances, or if the guy is truly intellectually below par (which I don't know to be the case) then I'd certainly support a reduced sentence. Or just a non-custodial sentence... ie where the guy doesn't go to jail.

With all the recent cases, I just don't think there's a one size fits all fix to this crime... Ha. If you will pardon the very bad pun.
