It was a killing that was not necessary," Myers told the court. Since Zieman said his evaluation doesn't show Ohlson meets the criteria for legal insanity, Myers told the judge Ohlson's mental conditions aren't an excuse for him to have killed his mother. "Just because he doesn't suffer from the legal definition of insanity doesn't mean that he's OK, doesn't mean he's normal," Wilson told Simon. Wilson argued to Simon that Ohlson has never been able to lead a "normal life" at any point, much less a "successful" one. This mix of illnesses led to Ohlson's struggle leading a normal life, even causing what Zieman called "intrusive thoughts." "I think the mental illness directly contributed to his actions," Zieman replied.Īccording to Zieman, Ohlson struggled with severe OCD that had also caused attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and an anxiety disorder since his birth. "Do you have an opinion as to whether this incident would have occurred had David not been mentally ill?" Wilson asked Zieman. Stephen Zieman testified that he did not feel Ohlson met the legal standard of being declared not guilty by insanity despite saying Ohlson had "the most severe case of (obsessive-compulsive disorder he'd) ever encountered." The key issue in Ohlson's case came down to his mental health and if it met the criteria to be legally declared insane.
