From my understanding it just takes one to think he’s more crazy than evil and he gets Life without Parole.

A guy dressed like the Joker shoots up a Batman movie?
I can kinda see why one person thought he was a couple fries short of a Happy Meal.

Insane or not, the result of the perp’s crime is the same.

Do the crime, serve the time.

In the case of capital offenses...

Fry ‘im.

No parole, no plea bargains, no possibility of future sentence commutations.

If they thought that, why did the jury reject the insanity defense?

You can't really have this both ways. Either he's crazy in the legal sense or he isn't. He can't be sane on the determination of guilt and insane on the consequences.
