In cases such as FTD (Frontotemporal Dementia) it may be considered a mitigating factor that would have to be taken into account when judging. However, the murder is not 'justifiable' rather there may be a lack of inhibtion which may make accidental murder far more likely than outright homicide.
As Ayesha states, most patients with mental disorders will not murder and even the degree to which they are violent is often blown out of proportion. However, the irsk exists with frontal lobe damage precisely because so many executive functions are located within this area.
Individuals such as those with frontal lobe damage need good advocates to assess the degree to which a crime was premeditated and the degree to which the patient had control over their actions.
Murder is justifiable in few conditions like self-defence. Frontal lobe damage disturbed memory, problem solving skills and increase impulsivity. I don't think so, Murder is justifiable in this condition.
Your question implies every murderer is mentally ill. Contrary to this popular assumption mentally ill individuals are not aggressive and violent as people thought. Only handful amount of mentally ill people commit crimes.
