Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, I believe that the Defendant is a victim of circumstance, a poor indictment of modern society rather then an example of evil.
Disassociated from the world that has failed him time and time again throughout his life, the defendant has developed a irrational understanding of external reality.
I am not trying to detract from the seriousness of his crimes...
but i submit for the aforementioned reasons the defendant should be entitled the defence of diminished responsibility
This was easier when they kept that mask on you...
