I would not be terribly surprised, if true, that he likely was not fit for duty but cleared anyway. Further, I think the most likely result of a courtsmartial, given the political consequences, is a conviction and death sentence. This is regardless of whether or not there is any merit to any head injury.

Color me cynical.
It's also been reported that he set fire to some of the bodies. That won't do him any favours in the court regardless of whatever mental issues he may have been having.
