In most cases of this sort the perp isn't faking--they are truly and deeply crazy. Anyhow I think looking further into the issue may well demonstrate that in CA at least the insanity defense is quite hard to game. It takes more than one MD sailing along and releasing people, they are evaluated by a bunch of individuals. This is because of abuses in the early days when scenarios like you describe actually took place.
