What's interesting is that he was found competent to stand trial. Selleneit (the husband who shot the neighbor) has been diagnosed with what was referred to as an "organic brain disorder with a labile affect, periodic delusional thought process, poor judgment [and] poor impulse control," which is attributed to a head injury sustained in a car crash during his teen years, and he's been having violent delusions ever since the early 90s. Two of three doctors who examined him found him competent and sane enough for trial, and then the judge promptly sentenced him to a mental ward in a hospital because he isn't sane enough for the general population in a prison.

Although the process sounds like something from Catch-22, the end result is the removal of two violent lunatics that were a threat to public safety. Hopefully we'll see more of that in the future.
