1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““One whose route to a charitable institution has been tainted by a criminal proceeding occupies neither a unique nor a preferred position. . . . The Legislature did not intend to exempt from liability for maintenance 'criminal’ patients while requiring civil patients to bear this financial obligation. Such a result would be illogical and inequitable.””
