"He is hearing voices. He's been hearing voices for quite some time. He tries to quell some of the voices by listening to music, and he listens to it with headphones, and he listens to it very loud," said Gerard Marrone, Aron's Defense Attorney.

Would the above be enough for an insanity plea (if confirmed medically)?
LA's coworkers were the ones who noticed LA had groomed himself after he left work on Monday and since LA was a guest at a large wedding Monday evening, it makes sense why he trimmed his beard etc.
It sounds like they are going the angle of Schizophrenia. A very close family member had this and, from what I have seen or been told at least (I was young), there was no violence against anyone. Unfortunately there was violence against themself.
A Hasidic Jew that wears his beard long, or an Orthodox Jew who wears his beard long would never "trim it" for a wedding. They wear them scruffy and natural and long.
IMO the man sexually molested the boy and killed him the same night and had done it before.
You don't need to sodomize a child to sexually assault them. And he "panicked" when he saw the big fuss about the boy. He shaved his beard after he killed him probably knowing that they were looking at video tapes.
He would have gotten away with it I bet if he had not gone into the dentist office to pay for the bill and not paid. Irony.
But everything that comes out of this mans mouth is a sheer lie.
Same situation here with an old friend. No violence against anyone else but life ending violence to himself. Everything I know about schizophrenics is they are more of a danger to themself than they are others.
It's possible LA wore a long sleeve shirt to work Tuesday which may have hidden any evidence of scratches or marks on his arms.

I can't take snippets from the above article. however, it does say Levi hears voices and uses earphones to drown the voices out - and listens to music loudly.
also - this article states the defense has not yet decided on pleading not guilty by reason of insanity due to not yet having enough information.
