    Sorry, I was assuming by “criminally insane” you meant “not guilty by reason of criminal insanity” aka the insanity defense.

    I agree that he probably needs mental health treatment regardless of whether or not he has any additional punishment.

      obviously, uncontrolled rage means you should be locked up for a bit…
