A forensic pyschologist has realesed that a patient he had back in 2016, had strange mental problems. Back in 2016, a former college student Austin Harrouff, now 22, broke into a house and attacked a couple and killed them. While he was attacking the husband, he bit the man's face and caused different marks on his face. He told the forensic pyschologist that he believed he was "half-man and half-dog." Dr. Phil visited Austin Harrouff when he was in a mental hospital in 2017 and Harrouff said he "never planned to kill or bite the man, and he "didn't want to do it." Dr. Phil just plain asked him why did you do it and his response was "I don't even remember it." "I couldn't tell you what happened or what I was thinking." He is planned for court in November.

Questions
1. What kind of mental problems do you think Harrouff had?
I think that he was not in his right mind and might have been taking some kind of weird drugs and just didn't know what he was doing.
2. He is going to court for an Insanity attack, how long do you think he will be in jail if he does go?
Even though he is going to court for Insanity, I think he should be put into prison for life or should be killed because it was his fault for what he did.

Crazy story! Be sure to capitalize key words in your title, which you "borrowed" from CBS. Use your own title. I also think your questions could be stronger.
I think he has multiple personality disorder because the believes that he is multiple people, or he is just straight up insane. I think his jail will be for a couple of years or until they can improve his mental stability. I think that the sentence could increase depending on how he handles the trial.
Most people would say drugs, or scizoprania, but you cant know what this man has because of one incident. Most people judge and say one thing that is completely wrong, or they say what they want him to have, so I cant say for certain what he has, but it could be anything. Mentally ill people are always misjudged, and in my opinion, I dont think mentally ill people should go to jail, they should get treatment.
True, I guess in a way it is not his fault, but if he did do something to make him that crazy, there needs to be consequences.
I agree, in my eyes he should be in jail for at least one life term.
I wouldn't be able to know what kind of mental problem he has but he could have somthing like schizophrenia, or someone he knows could have drugged him and that is why he can't remember any of it and not understand why he did it. I think he could be in jail for a little while but if he really has a metal condition they might not put him in there as long and instead keep him in a mental hospital.
I agree, he could've taken the drugs himself or someone gave them to him and he doesn't rememeber
Wether ther man rembers the crime he commited or not I thik the man should spend som time in jail. I also thin he should continue to go to a mental hospitol. Whos knows if the man is liying or telling the truth so yes I do think the man should spend some time in jail.
I agree
He might go to jail for about 2 years considering he has mental problems, depends on how the court takes it.
