I absolutely agree with this. AFAIK there are no statements from anyone who interacted with him recently that indicate he has any serious mental illness.RBBM
I think this is very important to remember & consider.
Yes, he has a concerning medical history (if Tapatalk is true) & perhaps even a psychiatric one, but he was still functioning at a high enough level to successfully complete ADLs (activities of daily living), attend classes, etc.
Focusing on his more than adequate level of functioning is especially important if his defense uses medical & other challenges he has experienced to mitigate his planning & choosing to act on that plan.
These are not crimes of sudden passion. They are not happenstance. They are calculated & premeditated. (ALL MY OPINION ONLY)
Kaylee might be enjoying backpacking in Europe right now; Maddie might be hanging out with her boyfriend & his family; Ethan might be practicing his golf swing; and Xana might be visiting her sister in Pullman were it not for BK's choices.
And as for Tapatalk, it has not been verified as written by BK. As I understand it, it was originally uncovered by 4Chan, or at least some other social media site. The New York Times did not appear to do any further verification, just reiterated the same information noted by others. There are a number of coincidences and it seems like it could be BKs account, but it has not been verified, at least IMO.
