Dunwoody day-care murder trial | What ‘guilty but mentally ill' means legally

What does Thursday's verdict mean for Hemy Neuman?

Under Georgia law, a conviction of "guilty but mentally ill" still means a life prison sentence and he won’t be considered for parole for at least 30 years. The difference between a simply "guilty verdict" and a "guilty but mentally ill" verdict is that the prison system will be required to provide him with mental health services.
