Don't worry MJ, the TMO would not sue
someone with obvious and serious mental issues in need of
medication.

With a constructed title like that the TMO ought to
sue Michael Jackson (!) from A to Z and back again. But
probably they realize his mental problems are so profound
that they won't bother. The USA might have different
laws. In Europe seriously disturbed persons, or persons
with
an IQ below 50 are not liable for their actions
and are sentenced to psychiatric wards.

Gives Insight into Maharishi Murder

LANCASTER, Pa., Feb. 19, 2013 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- It
is
a story that could only be written by one person. A
compelling autobiography that not only pushes the
boundaries
of sanity, it takes readers on a frightening voyage to meet
it face-to-face. "Murder and Misunderstanding; One
Man's Escape from Insanity" (ISBN-13:
978-1479256969) is the story of Shuvender Sem, who on March
1, 2004 became known as "The Maharishi Murderer."
The murder took place in Fairfield, Iowa, on the campus of
a
university that prided itself on non-violence. The
Maharishi
University of Management used a variety of techniques
towards its non-violent goals including twice-daily use of
Transcendental Meditation. It was to no small degree that
this setting put the murder in the national spotlight.
In one moment Sem was a college student. In the next he was
"The Maharishi Murderer." Shuvender killed
freshman Levi Butler without provocation on the campus by
stabbing him four times in the chest with a paring knife.
The murder took place following an incident earlier in the
day when Sem stabbed a student with a pen. That previous
incident led to the student getting seven stitches to his
face.
Deemed competent to stand trial, the judge ruled he was
"not guilty by reason of insanity" at the request
of both the defense and the prosecution. Against popular
belief, NGRI is an extremely rare plea, used in less than
one percent of criminal cases. A not guilty result is even
more uncommon, occurring just one-quarter of one percent of
the time.
Now, after years of psychotropic medications and intense
therapy, Shuvender is telling his story of schizophrenia in
his autobiography, "Murder and Misunderstanding; One
Man's Escape from Insanity." It is not only an
extremely rare look into the mind of a killer from his own
perspective, but it is also a deeply personal story that
explores the darkest, most grim places of the mind.
"Our mental health system is broken. We need to fix
this before more crimes are committed," says Sem.
In his book, Shuvender tells of his relationship with his
father, and the events that led to that day on campus. He
describes his struggle with, and eventual escape from this
misunderstood illness. It is a story of recognition and
realization. A story of redemption desired, and hope
delivered. It is a book written to serve as a beacon for
those with schizophrenia and their families, by a man who
was held in its strongest grips, and managed to escape.
Shuvender Sem, or Shubi as he is known, now speaks publicly
about his experience with schizophrenia in the hopes of
helping others. He is available for presentations and
Q&A sessions for law enforcement, mental health groups,
attorney associations, academic institutions and others who
may feel they can benefit from his story.
The self-told story of Shuvender Sem, "Murder and
Misunderstanding; One Man's Escape from Insanity"
is available at http://www.ShuvenderSem.com/
. The book is available in paperback; as well as Kindle,
iPad and Nook digital editions.
