It's also unlikely that a thirty-something accountant would have accumulated enough concussions to have the mental capacity of an 80 year old with dementia. He killed his family, there's no denying that at this point. However, I don't think of him as a murderer because I don't believe he was capable of judgement at that point. I think without the suicide, he would have been found "Not guilty by reason of insanity" and put into an institution.
