There is such a thing as criminal insanity.

Some people are insane, others are simply evil.

That's a cop-out. How does one determine "evil"?

I'd say assuming heinous acts must be an indication of insanity is a cop-out. Getting enjoyment out of inflicting harm is evil. Or do you simply reject the entire concept of evil?

Everyone has a psychology, whatever moral judgment you want to place on their behaviour.

I'm glad they got him before he got fed up with cats and moved on to something or someone else!

I'm with Mags on this one. I think proper punishment would be to have the same thing done to him as he did to the cats.

Trying to revive the cult of Xipe Totec, perhaps?

That dude is messed up.
