Yes, and William Edward Hickman had no such qualities The qualities Rand found admirable in him - an overpowering sense of himself as special and set apart from the masses, a willingness to defy social norms because other people meant nothing to him - were 100% malign

In reality, Hickman argued an insanity defense in his trial, saying he didn't even know what he was doing when he was doing it and "an angel" took possession of him and made him kill the girl

I think this was bullshit, as did the jury, as did Rand But if it were true, then it would've been a reason to show mercy, because it would be less bad than if he decided to kill the girl because he was Angry at Society or whatever garbage
