It's Been Three Years

He planned and successfully hung himself. Doesn't strike me as someone incapable of judgement.

Since the context of those texts was released and we could see he basically repeated the same information over and over, it might be worth pointing out. Since none of that information was more than basic, that might be an important piece, too.

Since mental illness doesn't stop one from being able to selectively rationalise, that might be important. Being able to judge right from wrong is not the same as being able to carry out a thought process like "weights are heavy. I can use heavy weights to kill myself." The level of "planning" involved here is kind of exaggerated by calling it planning.

I'm not saying I'm any less of a layman than you, but you're certainly demonstrating prejudice in your presentation of the facts and applying it to come to a very prejudicial end.
