This would be enlightened progress -- if Americans were routinely sympathetic to the stresses of adult mass murderers. Alas, I haven't noticed that. In Texas, for example, even mentally retarded or psychotic people are executed for murder.

were you also listening to the coverage on NPR this morning, or is it essentially identical everywhere?
The NPR coverage is pretty bad but the NYT is no better and Google News is very similar. It's pretty much across the board.
