But I've heard of several scenarios where people who are classified as having certain conditions who are still Technically guilty becuase they have "Just enough" free will. I really don't know enough about the subject to take a side. But it's still a pretty big mindfuck.

Like all things, we designate the amount or quality of something with various tests.
By testing the individual, we can determine (or at least as get as close was need to know) how much control that individual had over their actions. The whole "plea of insanity" defense. Voices in his head told him to do it, he needs medical help not prison.

It's still a very gray area that needs alot of fine-tuning, but we're getting there. Shabby legal system aside, we're getting much better at weeding out the dangerous criminals from the under-medicated.
