I am also smart enough to know that not everyone that has killed someone, and I mean committing murder, is or was a patently bad person.

Really it doesn't take that much IQ to understand this. Crimes of passion are not the same as being a calculated killer.
I'm sorry, but in the end, these were choices he made, and it's hard to imagine any circumstances whatsoever that convert the murder of an infant's mother into a positive choice. You are what you do, not how you'd like to see yourself.

Actually, many jurisdictions don't allow this defense anymore, and with good reason.
