In this case, there is little doubt of guilt and let's remember this turned himself in and stated he had no idea why he acted the way he did. It could have been a reaction to a prescribed medication; it could have been a reaction to an illegal drug (including steroids); it could be the beginning stages of Alzheimers or dementia. We don't know.

I agree that people should take responsibility for their actions but there can be mitigating circumstances. I get the feeling that something triggered this man and it's not just a simple case of unrestrained anger. It just doesn't sound like it from the news report.

Please stop saying things like that Red. I just want to be mad at him.
