e with schizophrenia. she beg thad he not be let out of v.a. which shows he was suffering from mental illness. something that the prosecution doesn't cob test. >> that was the most stunning testimony to hear from the mother one week before he killed chris kyle the mother said please, keep him in and yet they had to release him. doesn't that help the defense's insanity argument? >> it helps big time. one of the things we have to realize is what the insanity defense is. it is at the time of the event, the critical moment because of a mental disease or event that he has he lacked the capacity to distinguish right from wrong. this is a very solid insanity defense and it's going to become a battle of experts in texas about whether or not he really understand what at that moment. so, in fact, his confession
