[摘要] Editor:We write to correct an oversight in our recently published paper regarding Arizona's procedures following a verdict of guilty except insane (GEI).1 The thesis of our paper is that Arizona's GEI verdict, as modified in 2007, is consistent with a guilty but mentally ill (GBMI) verdict in that individuals adjudicated GEI for charges involving death or serious physical injury are incarcerated in the state department of corrections and are placed under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Psychiatric Security Review Board (AzPSRB) for the full term of their institutionalization or conditional release. The statute also provides a mechanism for the AzPSRB to transfer individuals adjudicated GEI for less serious offenses from the state hospital to the department of corrections when they no longer require hospital care but remain dangerous and likely to reoffend.
