Most people are considered accountable and able to make the choice, while knowing the action is illigal, to continue with it. Mental patients that are not accountable are so because for whatever reason they are either unable to realise that the action is bad or they are unable to stop themselves doing it.
They are also usually in the process of getting help, it just sucks that we can't do more to help em out.
I guess that would be the main thing, whether or not they are able to understand that the criminal behavior is bad and are able to stop themselves from doing it.
