Is a sick brain more hateful than a sick liver ? ( schizophrenic mass killer sentenced )

James Holmes sentenced  It is simply a waste of emotional and spiritual energy to hate this mentally ill man. Our mental health system is an international disgrace. Hardly a few-not quite corrupt- professional psychiatrists do not apologize for its insanity.De-institutionalization for a half a century has been a human catastrophe. Is a sick brain somehow more hateful than a sick heart or a sick liver ? How many American judges can rise above a Dark Age view of human wickedness ?
Our legal system is based on a vague but needed concept of FREE WILL. But can any evolutionary biologist tell us how and when it evolved in homo-sapiens ?
I don't think human beings are robots. But just how free is our free will ?
