Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords Shot at Arizona Event
Back to you kiva...

What I'm wondering about in addition to mental illness is his IQ.
More reports are coming in from teachers and neighbors who knew him when he was young, and from his string of employers. He has a lot of signs of MR, maybe not severe but low enough to keep him from developing normally. He couldn't follow or understand simple directions at school, at menial jobs, nor at volunteer jobs, leading to arguments with co-workers and eventually leading him to quit or get fired. Certainly couldn't handle normal social interactions. Sure he listed some heavy duty "favorite books" on a you tube video but there's no evidence so far that he ever read any of those.

Nevertheless I'm expecting a death penalty trial, I think most people are expecting that. The charge that's been filed makes him eligible for that, and the notes he left certainly indicate planning and intention. If not on the federal level, then Arizona could sentence him to death.
People shouldn't confuse an attempt to understand who he is and what led him to this heinous crime with an attempt to excuse him from accountability for that crime, but they will.
