"intent"

“…He looked for judgment, but behold oppression;
for righteousness, but behold a cry” (Isaiah 5.7).

Police officers, mostly white, European-Americans, repeatedly go unindicted for murder, mostly of black, African-Americans, because “intent cannot be proven.”
​
Yet, such unholy regimes as we see in Arkansas can indict, try, sentence, and murder the mentally ill, often black, who are incapable of understanding or possessing “intent.” Our judicial system is in such ruins, it can only be labeled as being in a terminal state of madness.
