The system and 'diminished responsibility'
The story concerning Josef Fritzl - who has now admitted holding his daughter, Elisabeth, captive in the cellar of the family home for 24 years and repeatedly raping her - has clearly shocked the entire world. The heinous nature of his crime - his inhumanity to his own flesh and blood - defies belief.
But what has transpired now is that, through his lawyers, Fritzl is arguing that at least he didn't kill her and their children.
In other words, we as a civilized world should be grateful for small mercies. At least he didn't kill.
It's really bizarre.
