Even if you were questioning De Grood's mental state and whether he was genuinely incapable of appreciated his actions, your argument would be a lot more sound.
However, you seem to be lumping those suffering from severe mental illness in with culpable murderers, with no regard to the issues of mental health whatsoever. I also hate to break it to you, but culpability is a longstanding concept of our, and any remotely democratic, justice system. This isn't some new invention by the "extreme left".
