“I have long thought that the legal system’s attitude about insane murderers is itself insane.”
The Bible does not offer an insanity defense, either. Those who murder are to be put to death, regardless of their mental state.
Exceptions are given for true accidents; I am talking about deliberate murder.

An Accident is not a murder. Even reckless endangerment resulting in death is not a murder. As you say, a murder is the deliberate killing of people. These people should be put to death regardless of what motivated them.
