We are not in the union, but you are correct about the psychiatric facility. He is sick but doubt he'll be declared insane. He prob wants to stand a full trial anyway to promote his sick ideas.

The thing is, we have a max of 21 years (30 if crimes againt humanity) BUT that doesn't mean you will be free in 21 years. If you are sentenced to 21 you CAN remain in prison for life if you are still a hasard towards society. That sounds very likely in this case.
