The homeless man who graduated from Harvard Law School
Alfred Postell
This is a tragic story and a very sad reminder of the struggles of millions of people suffering from mental illness. This man holds three degrees, one is Law and graduated from Harvard University along U.S. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. And former Wisconsin senator Russ Feingold and one of the top students in the class. Schizophrenia took it all away.
QUOTE The judge settled his gaze on the homeless man accused of sleeping beside an office building in downtown Washington.
It was a Saturday afternoon in early April at D.C. Superior Court, and Alfred Postell, a diagnosed schizophrenic, stood before Judge Thomas Motley.
Postell’s hair was medium length and graying. His belly spilled over his pants. A tangled beard hung from his jowls.
“You have the right to remain silent,” a deputy clerk told Postell, according to a transcript of the arraignment. “Anything you say, other than to your attorney, can be used against you.”
“I’m a lawyer,” Postell replied. Source 9p

Its heartbreaking what can become of someone through no fault of their own and yet no one can help them. We are so far a way from understanding the way our brain works. Maybe more money should be invested in this rather than trying to fund space exploration.
