When you accept a job done like they do, let me know. No estimates, takes as long as it does, no guarantee of success or how much it will cost. Would you allow me to fix your car if I told you those terms? Most will not. Yes, the next excuse is that the mind is blah, blah, blah. Well, nobody told you to take the job. If you are not equal to the task, don't take it.
How about the woman who gave her kids a rock party? 2 died and 1 severely brain damaged. 2 mindfawks said she was guilty and 2 said she was sane. Surprisingly enough. the 2 that said she was sane came from the prosecution and the other 2 came from her defense.
Mindfawks are only as popular today because people can use them as a mitigating factor for their nonsense. Michael Fay tried what I call the "Classic American Defense" with his mindfawk. The Singapore courts punished him anyway but let him get his "help" AFTER the punishment. After he got home, he almost blew himself up freebasing cocaine. Guess he didn't get the "help" he needed because he wasn't able to use it to lessen the punishment.
