Otherwise, you've got the intent.

You've got the conviction.

If he doesn't use a medal of sanity.

You're using a layperson term.

You want me to use a psychological term?

Schizophrenic, somebody.

He thought that he was possessed.

He thought that somebody else was in his body.

Some sort of government device was in his body.

He thought something else was going on.

He is not owning this act.

He did not say, I don't know why I did this.

He's saying...

look you know i don't know what happened but they need to scan me they need to investigate me they need to figure this out something was going on in his brain and we don't understand brains yet far enough to understand why this happened but clearly he did not say i did it and i'm sorry or i can't figure out why i did it he doesn't seem to have any recollection so it's a mental health defense

It's clearly mental health.

How do you know he has no recollection?

Because you want to make it appeal proof, right?

Lawyers that are qualified to take on death penalty cases, then he can't after the fact say, well, I had ineffective assistance of counsel.

My lawyers didn't understand how to handle a death penalty case.

They're protecting the verdict and the conviction.
