Forensic Phsychology moral Dillema

On a legal note, there was a call in to a philosophy show I listen too from a guy who does forensic psychology (the guy who says if your sane enough for trial). The show was on moral dillamas and he was saying that he has the daily issue of knowing that if he labels a person mentally ill they get caught in the mentally ill system for 25 years. But if he labels them sane they will serve their 5 and be done. And since most of the cases are not cut and dry insane he ends up factoring the issues with the mental system into his decisions to label people insane. I think he was in CA.
