I agree that a cluey defence lawyer would run an insanity defence, but just because someone has a mental illness doesn't mean they can run an insanity defence. Have to prove he didn't know right from wrong. His flight from the country post commission of the crime is consciousness of guilt, meaning he knew he'd done wrong. He clearly has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but I doubt that would get him off the hook. I personally think he knew exactly what he was doing and his posts prior to the crime about whether or not he is a psychopath were a deliberate but naive attempt to create an insanity defence down the track, should he be caught (which it seems he wanted to be). And hence, he should be found guilty of murder and sent to a prison (there is no cure for NPD/psychopaths etc) where he will be served his just desserts, irrespective of whether or not he gets 25 years from the judge or less... My firm beliefs in "innocent until proven guilty" are being sorely tested in this building case.
