A Bakersfield man accused of biting out his 4-year-old son's eyeball, then trying to hack off his own legs was found not guilty by reason of insanity and now he will be heading to a state mental hospital.
Angelo Mendoza Sr., 37, was set to go to trial on Feb. 22, but on Thursday, according to the district attorney's office, after two reports and two different doctors, Mendoza was found to be insane at the time of the crime.

Mendoza pleaded guilty Thursday to all charges of aggravated mayhem, torture, willful cruelty to a child and inflicting injury to a child.
But the judge ruled Mendoza was not guilty by reason of insanity. Mendoza is due back in court on March 22 to determine where he will be placed.

He pleaded guilty but it was ruled not guilty? I obviously have no idea how the justice system works...
