I don't have all the facts yet and I have yet to see the video, nor will I ever care to see a video of someone being murdered, but the fact that this individual has planned for months in order to kill someone leads me to think that there was ample time for him to realize that what he was doing was wrong, unlike someone who has paranoid schizophrenia and believes something about aliens trying to kill him or whatever it was. While I don't have the insight into either case (as none of us really do) in order to make a determination of either persons character, I do tend to have a greater amount of empathy for someone who does have a diagnosable disease and at least has the ability to be treated and empathize with others.

That's a bit of a stretch. Throw in help with, lessen, reduce, or aleviate some or all. But hardly "cure".
