The thing with the mental illness thing is, if you are so ill you can't be held accountable for your actions you need to be in treatment. You can't have it both ways. Being mentally ill doesn't make you free to do however you please and harm whomever you want along the way. Most of us have mental illness these days, it's a natural result of the lifestyles we are forced to live with so much stress etc. Yes clearly not to this extent, but we can't just walk the streets doing whatever the duck we want. Britney's name and status do not make her anymore entitled and her degree of illness only just further confirms she needs serious intervention.
Free Britney doesn't mean freedom of consequence. I'm sick of people saying she can't have accountability because she is too ill and not in her right mind. OK then, do you want her to just continue as is until she hurts herself or god forbid someone else? Then what? She'll go to a mental institution because she will be to unfit to be charged. So if that's the case, is the argument not there for the same treatment BEFORE anyone is harmed? You are essentially already acknowledging she is in the position to do this.
