    In the case of Manuel Pina Babbitt v. Arthur Calderon (1998) I agree with the guilty verdict of Manuel Pina Babbitt who was charged with first degree murder of Leah Schendel after she died due to heart failure in the course of his burglary, robbery and attempted rape. In addition, he was also convicted of the burglary and attempted rape of Mavis Wilson. Babbitt’s counsel presented an argument that used his mental health issues caused by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a defense. However, I believe that his actions were a voluntary act. Before Babbitt entered the homes of those two women he had the criminal intent, which means that he intended on committing a crime.…
