Whomever is standing for him in court needs to make the judge aware of his mental state - this is one of his defenses. The judge should order a mental health evaluation if properly noticed. The results will give the judge some idea of how to proceed. If he was indeed involved in a serious crime the better alternative to incarceration for him would be in a mental health facility to help treat his illness.
