It is entirely unclear from the article that he knows right from wrong, and furthermore it is entirely unclear that he knows that that it is any worse than any other childish prank that went wrong. My son knows it is wrong to eat in his room, but he still does it, perhaps this child feels this is on the same level?
Unless you can share some other resource that suggests something else, I find your claim to be completely unfounded.

The paragraph prior to the one you quoted: At one point on an internet chat he said that he had considered not sharing any more information “because it put lives at risk, but then I thought they are killing innocent people every day”, the court heard. He was aware that he was doing harm to people, and justified it based on his belief that his victims were doing greater harm.
- jimnotgym 9y agoThat merely establishes a mixed and confused picture, in that one article directly contradicts itself. I suggest we let the jury do their job, since they hear all of the evidence
- krapp 9y agoFair enough, but I'd suggest that for everyone who insists he should be let off the hook and given a parade as well.
