If you drink and you drive, you're still responsible for your state if you run someone over. To some similar extent, one has to hold benoit to some fault for his own condition. However, as the effects of drinking and driving are more immediately obvious than those of concussions on killing your family, I have trouble treating him like a murderer.
Benoit's end will probably always overshadow him. Even if you think he was ill, and I do, it doesn't wipe the slate on killing your wife and child. I actually think it's a bit more of a mark on his career that it was his career that left him with a skull full of swiss cheese and a murder-murder suicide to his name.
