How do mental health professionals determine whether or not an alleged criminal is sane enough to stand trial?

It would seem it would be an advantage to pretend to be insane to avoid being found guilty so how do they determine if someone is truly insane or just pretending to be?

There was one guy who was crazy, so they sent him to a mental institution. He took meds, became sane, and was released. He was arrested multiple times and released multiple times. He was almost killing people by literally throwing them in front of a bus. Many people felt that authorities should keep him locked up to prevent him from successfully killing someone. I don’t know the follow-up on this person.
