How does that change the fact that they committed a crime. I don't think there is a single mass murderer that does not need both psychiatric help, and punishment that has a major impact on their life.
I'm pretty sure it comes down to the mental capacities. Whether he had a personal issue with the victims or whether he was perceiving reality to be much different than it is.

People with an illness such as schizophrenia can have delusions and hallucinations so severe they are unaware of what's going on. I have seen it with my own eyes where a families uncle thought the nephew was a demon and he tried attacking the demons. My prediction is he is deemed responsible though because he was methodic and devious over psychotic and maniacal.
