Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "guilty but mentally ill" verdict means that the defendant is found guilty of the charges but is also found to have been mentally ill at the time of the crime. It does not reduce the charges or imply partial responsibility; rather, it allows for the possibility of mental health treatment alongside serving the sentence.
