Amir and his two accomplices, [[Dror Adani]] and his brother [[Hagai Amir|Hagai]], were put on trial for the assassination. Due to Amir's insistence that he was following the will of God, he was given a psychiatric evaluation, which determined that he was simply a fanatic, and not a maniac. Amir pleaded that the killing was in accordance with Jewish law, but was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment, plus six years for wounding Rubin.
