True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 217

As the online community was abuzz with speculations and heated debates, the breaking news dropped like a bombshell, confirming their worst fears.

At that moment, the floodgates of profanity burst open among the netizens.

“Son of a gun.”

“Are you kidding me? He gets off scot–free because he’s ‘mentally ill“?”

“Hold on, if he’s mentally ill, shouldn’t he be locked up even more so?”

“He slaughtered nearly a hundred innocent animals. You mean to tell me that by proving him ‘mentally ill,‘ he might just walk and find new prey to butcher?”

“If this guy gets off because of some insanity plea, I’m seriously going to question our legal system.”

*Does nobody give a damn about our pets anymore? Since when is animal cruelty okay?”

“Reject insanity as a get–out–of–jail–free card.”

“Refuse to release murderers on the grounds of mental illness.”

The uproar online over the possibility of Lyndon’s release due to a mental illness was too much to ignore.

The Emerald Bay Police Department issued an urgent bulletin in response, covering three points.

First, their investigation confirmed that since childhood, Lyndon had brutally killed nearly a hundred cats, causing a serious social outcry.

Second, Lyndon had indeed sought a mental health evaluation, the results of which were still pending.

Third, the notion of legal immunity for mentally ill murderers was a misconception.
