Matthew Daley knifed 79-year-old Donald Lock 39 times on a road in southern England in July after their cars were in a low-speed collision.
Daley's family told a jury at Lewes Crown Court in southern England that they had pleaded with doctors to take the 35-year-old into psychiatric care after years of mental-health problems.
Local health authorities have apologized for not providing better care.
