Although I don't know whether possession is a real thing, I certainly am open to the possibility. That being said, that monster that killed those people is 100% responsible for their murders - it does not matter who told her to do what. I'm not sure about this and apologies if I have it wrong, but I believe there was something in the Bible about resist the devil and he will flee from you. If so, she had a choice to resist.

I don’t think the one saying it was a command from demon was also saying she is not responsible. Just that its the origins. What prompted it. Least thats my view.

What you say is true, to an extent, but the experts in demonology say that it is sometimes the case that people inadvertently open themselves up to possession and are quite innocent of the process. Robbie Mannheim, the actual boy upon whom the novel, The Exorcist, is based, apparently fell into possession because a beloved aunt got him involved with the Oujia board, and he tried to communicate with her after she died. That case is famous and written up extensively.

So, in this case, we have to consider the possibility that this woman was enticed into transgenderism by her misanthropy, the culture around her and, possibly, her leftist mother, after which it would have been a smooth slide to be opened up by demonic material and/or drugs, which are almost always involved in these kinds of tragedies. That would make her a victim herself in many ways, even though the initial cooperation with evil was a matter of her free will. The Devil has many things he can do to capture souls.

It's possible. I'll be honest, though, I just can't look at her as any type of victim no matter what she went through. (I'm not suggesting you are defending her in any way.) I want people held responsible for their actions and make zero excuses for cold blooded murder. Sorry, this whole situation makes my blood boil.

Most of the killers since Columbine have computers which show their involvement in occultic and satanic or demonic sites.

Simply, we have to leave it to God to sort that out.

She definitely had a choice; we all do. But she put herself in satan’s territory (by music, books, associations, etc.) Once she did that I do believe she could’ve been listening to the prompts of satan. Demons are real; those who deny that fact delight him & his minions. Neither should be obsessed about them bc that elevates more than they should be.

Genuine Christians can’t be possessed by satan, but they can be oppressed by him.

I know devote Christians who have confronted demons in people & cast them out. Don’t overrate or underrate them.

No, any influence, demonic or otherwise, is NOT a defense.
