nobody gives a shit what was going on in his brain. he murdered, without a doubt, 12 innocent people in a premeditated attack. zimmerman murdered one person, in what MIGHT be a self defense situation. if it comes out that it was not self defense, then he should face the same penalty. not enough is known about this case to make a clear verdict. the holmes case has no questions to be answered about his actions....there is proof he did what he did, no matter what he believes in his mind (even if its self defense), the murders are not justifiable. theres a huge difference in real self defense, and self defense made up by a paranoid skitzo. assuming he even has a mental problem.
