The moment that they where aware of his mental state, they should have looked into that. They where too quick to just act on the case. You can see some evidence in that, when they handed the case over to the state. They knew it would be messy and did not want to be involved.

That the state assigned judge happens too be scared of shadows has not helped the issue. This is the sad state of things, and I truly hope things change, and people wake up. The media scares people into a frenzy and then we get crappy judges who are afraid of the scary terrorist hiding in his basement.

Too add to my previous point, there seams to be a big issue with people with mental issues being locked up in jails, especially in smaller cities. This also includes people with drug addictions. The first judge should have approved the investigation to make sure that the accused is fit for trial. A judge should not be allowed to dictate of the accused is or is not fit. If there is even a hint of a mental issue it needs to be investigated before the trial continues. ALWAYS.
