Esta ley dice que estar mentalmente enfermo no siempre significa que no seas responsable de tus acciones. Aunque alguien esté diagnosticado con un problema de salud mental, aún puede ser culpable de un delito.
Es como si un jugador de fútbol se lastimara y no pudiera jugar bien. Aunque esté lesionado, aún es responsable de sus acciones durante el partido.
Imagina que Juan comete un robo. Después se descubre que tiene un trastorno mental. Según esta ley, Juan puede ser juzgado y, aunque su enfermedad sea un factor, eso no lo exime de ser considerado culpable por el delito que cometió.
Ct review denied Condition that would make one “mentally ill person” for purposes of hospitalization does not necessarily relieve one of criminal responsibility under this section. State v. Weller, 285 Or 457, 591 P2d 732 (1979) Presumption that “a thing once proved to exist continues as long as is usual with things of that nature” applies only to factual condition established in prior adjudication, and defendant, who had been previously committed as “mentally ill” was not entitled to instruction on presumption phrase in terms of insanity.

State v. Mains, 295 Or 640, 669 P2d 1112 (1983) 1983 amendment to this section which excludes personality disorders from terms “mental disease or defect” was not intended to withdraw Psychiatric Security Review Board’s jurisdiction over persons committed on basis of personality disorder prior to effective date of amendment. Baldwin v. PSRB, 97 Or App 367, 776 P2d 577 (1989) Even assuming pedophilia is personality disorder, petitioner who was committed to Psychiatric Security Review B
No necesariamente. Tener un problema de salud mental no significa que no seas responsable de tus acciones. La ley evalúa cada caso individualmente.
Ser declarado mentalmente enfermo puede influir en el juicio, pero no garantiza que no serás considerado culpable. La ley tiene en cuenta varios factores.
No, según una enmienda de 1983, los trastornos de personalidad no se consideran enfermedades mentales a efectos de esta ley.
