COURTESY HAWAII COUNTY POLICE
John Ali Hoffman
PAHOA, Hawaii >> A defense attorney for a man accused of killing a woman and two children on the Big Island of Hawaii is asking for a panel of doctors to evaluate his mental fitness.
John Ali Hoffman was in court Monday where defense attorney Brian De Lima says he requested the evaluation. A hearing is scheduled for June 14.
Hawaii News Now reports court documents say Hoffman called police saying intruders shot his wife.
Police say that when officers arrived, they found Hoffman driving away from the house. Police say a woman’s body was in the car’s trunk, and the bodies of a boy and girl were inside the Puna house.
A criminal complaint lists the woman’s name as Aracely Del Carmen Monroy Urruela. The children’s names haven’t been released.
There are thousands of patients waiting for a liver and/or kidney. I say we make him a mandatory organ donor immediately after he gets a fair trial rather than locking him up and wasting more tax dollars to feed and shelter him.
Yes, retrieve the organs while he’s still alive. Fresher that way. Everything except his brain.
Don’t forget the corneas.
I forgot. Thanks
You won’t find a doctor anywhere in this country willing to do such a thing, because it’s an egregious violation of their Hippocratic Oath. Think about that … because you need to.
Nonsense, every surgeon will gleefully try to save a life if there is an opportunity, for the right price that is. World renowned surgeons in the USA even saved the lives of Japanese organized crime leaders at the cost of passing up regular folks so you’re correct when you stated “Hippocratic Oath” Source —> http://articles.latimes.com/2008/may/30/local/me-ucla30
The insanity defense can be based on either of two factors due to mental illness:
(1) inability to understand that what they did was wrong/illegal; or
(2) inability to control one’s impulses.
Regardless of the presence of delusions/psychosis, if a defendant lies to authorities (fabricates a story, blames someone else) or attempts to conceal what they did (trying to hide the body), this eliminates (1). If their actions suggest planning and self-control, this eliminates (2).
Why? He’s defective. You can’t say for sure what brought it on and you can’t say for sure that it couldn’t happen again but we DO know he’s capable of this. PUT HIM AWAY!
He’s already FILLED his kill card punch card quota. NO chances for more.
Some Big Islanders loves to kill their own children just like the mainlanders.
