Well, if brain lesions are causing criminal behavior then this class of behavior, as opposed to criminal behavior sans lesions, should not fall under the jurisdiction of the criminal justice system. Those charged or found guilty or presently in prison re serious crimes should be given MRI and/or CT scans and if lesions are present they should be sent to a special medical justice system where their lesions can be treated. They cannot be held responsible for behavior that is caused by a diseased brain and should be able to return to society without a criminal record if and when they are cured.
