I don't know how crazy you think a person needs to be before they can't tell right from wrong. If that was an accurate diagnosis, he absolutely was not "at fault", even if he still needed to be held accountable for the reason of public safety.
If I thought he couldn't tell right from wrong, I'd say he should have gotten innocent for reason of insanity. I wouldn't think he should be in jail. His guilty sentence with life in prison was just, imo.
What, in your opinion, is the purpose of prison?
Do you think criminally insane people should free to go?
