Think about the way he talks. He really doesn't even seem like he's trying to get off the hook here. The argument is that he was trying to fake insanity so he can avoid the death penalty, but he did such a bad job of 'acting' that it makes me think he wasn't even acting and he was being genuine.

The way he acted and the responses he gave to questions just demonstrates how he actually thinks. He couldn't 'remember' when he was born, at the start of the interrogation, because in his mind he was completely overwhelmed and couldn't think straight.

He had a known behavior of frequently talking to himself before this event happened, even frequently texting himself pretending to be two different people.

And he was never described as being 'sane' by anybody who actually knew him.

To continue my own post:

That doesn't mean he was guiltless such that he didn't recognize what he was doing was wrong. It was clearly premeditated and he definitely understood what he was doing and the consequences. He just didn't care and thought it was worth it in his own mind. He is not blameless here and his mental illness is not an excuse for what he did of course.

Anybody who is contacted by a real entity will appear to be a bit strange because they have seen something that is too difficult to talk about. The fact he didn't tell many people about the demon is actually a good sign because most people who saw a real demon would not talk about it too frequently, but only around certain people.

That being said, here is my final note:
Does free will even exist at all? Is there any proof it does? All evidence I've seen points otherwise. We don't like to consider this because it would have huge repercussions on our society. If you covertly strip somebody of their free will, would they even notice it's gone?
