.ok so if dude is determined to be certified mentally ill hes not gonna really do any jail time
theyre gonna stick him in a mental facility where he gets to just chill all day with other sick people playing board games
Not guilty by insanity verdicts are rare. They tightened up the laws after John Hinckley was found not guilty of shooting Reagan and got sent to a mental hospital.
The main thing that decides sanity/insanity in criminal cases is not knowing what you are doing is wrong. Since the shooter apparently left, came back, shot up the place, had a getaway car, hid, and tried to hide in a mental facility...it's highly unlikely the defense is going to be able to argue "he didn't know what he was doing was wrong".
