I didn't know the gentleman, but have known some depressive people.
There may have been other problems bothering him in his life, but
spending a fortune on a lawyer to try and avoid 30 - 50 years in prison
and the reputation that he would have if he ever got out is probable
quite near the top of the list of things setting his mind frame and
causing this unfortunate decision. The powers that be have blood on
their hands and hopefully are having rather poor nights sleep these
days. Personally I would be having trouble looking in the mirror for my
daily shave.
