People v. Heltzer (Cal. Supreme Ct. - Jan. 22, 2024)

Read this opinion -- or at least the first dozen pages or so -- and see whether you think the defendant:

(A) Wouldn't have done the same thing but for his initial religious upbrining;

(B) Wouldn't have done the same thing if he wouldn't have abandoned that upbringing;

(C) A mix of both (A) and (B).

(D) Neither (A) nor (B).

Personally, I think that (D) is the answer least likely to be true.

Regardless, the defendant is sentenced to death, and the California Supreme Court unanimously affirms.
