This NIU killerStephen Kazmierczak was a homicidal maniac. As far as I know, taking medications of whatever type does not rob people of their free will. Therapy could have really helped him not end up doing something as horrible as this but I really cannot see how taking or not taking medication would have any bearing on this. Or, at least, not all that much.

The man was a monster and should be judged by his actions. This off his medications excuse just looks like another version of the Twinkie defense. Even if the "Twinkie defense" is an urban myth. http://www.snopes.com/legal/twinkie.asp
