Claiming insanity isn't the easy option. Many people who ARE insane prefer to claim they are guilty of murder to actually have a set sentence, as with claims of insanity you dont normally get set a specified time to spend in the institution and you can be kept there for life, as he most likely will be based on the fact he still doesnt see whats wrong with what he did.

Thats why dangerous people with mental problems end up back on the streets to reoffend. Nothing forces you to claim insanity, but if you do there is uncertainty. Much better to go to prison, be good and be out after two thirds of your sentence.
