Amicus Juris Production Season 1 Episode 19

The mental disability of the victim was not disputed. However, the victim's level of disability has not been equated to a specific "mental age."   Evidence must be adduced to aid the court in determining not only the existence of the illness and its level of severity but as well of its manifestations and the corresponding mental age of the subject.
