[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't followed the trial and I don't know anything about his mental state.  If I was juror the only thing that really would have swayed me in a case like this is if he had a documented history of mental illness, did not know the difference between fantasy and reality and clearly should not have been out walking around among others because he was an obvious potential danger to himself and to others.

If I got any sort of sense that he had control over his actions and understood what he was doing - nope.  Not swayed.

I too was unsure about the appropriate penalty and still don't really know how I would have decided.  Hat said, the fact that he was wearing body armor when he did it makes me think he was aware enough of consequences to know what he was doing, and therefore right from wrong.[/quote]

I didn't know that he wore body armor, I agree that that type of planning is pretty chilling. Not too many people have body armor in their closet.  He must have been thinking about doing this for a while.  [/quote]
