David Berkowitz, also known as the "Son of Sam," was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia after his arrest in 1977 for a series of shootings in New York City. His mental health issues were well-documented, and he claimed that he was commanded to kill by a dog belonging to his neighbor. However, some experts debated the extent of his mental illness and whether it absolved him of responsibility for his actions. Ultimately, he was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
