Most persons with mental illnesses are not violent. But schizophrenia can evoke violence in people. It's a very specific illness. In addition, there is CD's recent head injury. There have been studies showing a relationship between violent behavior and frontal lobe injuries.
But this probably won't open the door to an insanity defense. It might be brought in as a mitigating factor for sentencing, though.
