Like I said, I think he had issues with his mental health therefore I don't see him as a criminal. I've read many cases where women have killed their abusive husbands, do you think they are criminal?
Just because something is defined as a criminal act doesn't necessarily make someone a criminal by anything other than literal definition for doing that thing. How many people speed on the motorway, are they 'criminals' to you?
I can't think of a clearer way to explain this viewpoint, so I am not going to attempt to explain it again, and either way, he aint going to court for trial so it doesn't really matter.
