What is the psychology of murder? How do some people think it is justified (consider checking the details)?

Asked by josie (30934points) August 12th, 2011

I was intrigued by this story.

And in particular this quote.“Marmolejo told investigators he planned to kill York because he did not like her and she had made him angry.” (emphasis mine)

He did not like her and she made him angry. There you go. A supreme idiot who believed that his petty little emotions justified brutal murder.
What is it that gets into people’s heads (or not) that they think such a response makes perfect sense?
