Balance of the mind

One occasionally hears the term "whilst the balance of his mind was disturbed" in legal areas.

I cannot think of a better example of what can happen when that balance is disturbed than the literary efforts of a survivor. He lays the blame for what took place with politicians. Leaving aside the accuracy of his conclusion, just how does that square with the extreme measures taken by those who have, thankfully, gone to their grave in matchboxes.

I say 'thankfully'. Had they been brought to trial we would have had a stage for others of a similar turn of mind as this Aussy writer.
