You sure I answered why. You gave so many excuses, I thought I would narrow down your rational to get you to actually make a decision instead of giving me a hundred what ifs as if anyone would care. Since you appear to care about a thousand permutations, I thought it best to try to limit you to one dimension so I can get a direct answer.
Who cares if they did it because they are a cold bloodied killer or that they were confused or that they mistook you for someone else. Who cares if they could lose as much as you or they are a nice guy or feed the hungry. Who cares if they are a priest or a teacher or any other excuse you can dream up to not answer a direct question. The basic question, if someone ask another person to kill your kids DO YOU believe they are just as guilty as the person committing the crime.
In another effort to remove all excuses so what would you believe absolves a person from asking another person to kill your kids. lets try the reverse psychology route. So what scenario would you believe a person is not just as guilty as the person who actually committed the crime. You can limit it to just one answer.

Like when Trump said 'I like a guy who can give a good body slam'. If someone went out and body slammed another politician and killed them, I would give Trump almost no blame, and the body slammer the overwhelming majority.
As for who cares, if the killer is mentally challenged/ill, are you really going to give them equal blame?

Ok, that at least clears up your stance on such a topic.
To your second paragraph, who would you give more blame to. If killer is mentally challenged but the person who ask that person to kill someone and the mentally challenged does, who gets the blame.
I can tell you from my own point of view both still equal to blame. The only difference is that the person who asked the mental person to commit such a crime should be throw in jail at the least while the mentally challenged person should be taken off the streets until is proven that person is no longer a danger to be used again. Either neither should be given a pass.
