Hitler was delusional...... guess he should have gotten away with it too, How about Stalin & Ted Bundy?

How did he have access to a loaded gun? In his "delusion" Was he able to locate the gun, and amo, load it, and use it? Did his wife load it and give it to him? As far as wasting our tax dollars, I've seem them waste more and get less. Use a gun-go to jail. I'm very sure many, many people right here in Bakersfield have shot and killed others while being "delusional" but they are just fine now. It comes and goes right?

If you kill someone, then you ARE a 'real' murderer. Terminally I'll or not. I agree with 888.

The man has terminal brain cancer and is under hospice care. Brain damage of any sort can have serious consequences to a person's ability to see, hear, smell, feel, think rationally...the list goes on and on. The delusions experienced by someone in that state are very real to them. As an acquaintance of the family, the entire situation is tragic. It is comforting to know that Mr. Ziros' last days will be in hospice care, not in a court room.

i agree with this...go after REAL criminals that affect everyday life of law abiding citezens, why waste tax dollars and court time on this.

he was enough with it in his head to lock & load & fire a pistol till it was empty...... but then again this is the land of dismissing felony charges & murder isn't it.
