It depends on the severity of the mental illness. There are some illnesses that do not cloud one's ability to determine "right" from "wrong."
An impairment must be proven through diagnosis and observation and a solid case established by the defending attorney.

That depends on the degree of the illness. The mentally ill do not always lack the ability to tell right from wrong.

If the illness impairs the person's ability to judge right from wrong, then yes. Otherwise, no.
