Psychopathic packers are predisposed to be that way.. the cause can be different for everyone..people can be damaged by abusive beheadings, it happens. It's the mental problems that abuse can cause, not just abuse itself. Abuse doesn't always lead to mental problems, it is certain situations involved that can make it. I believe it can play the main factor in these situations. Maybe if someone great you know or love grew up differently put in a collector's position they may have turned out to be one. What is known is that abuse can lead to severe mental disorders. Dorothy Lewis, from New York University, came to the conclusion that it was a combination of childhood, abuse, neurological disturbances and psychiatric illness that can lead victims of collectors to be someone who murders. Lewis reported that an high percentage of the murderers she'd studied had been children at sometime in their lives.
Just because it sounds good and feels good doesn't make it true.Personality disorders cannot be rehabilitated. If so, then anti-socials (of which she may be one) can be rehabilitated, ; sociopaths can be rehabilitated (think of Dahmer and the BTK killer).The DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statisical Manual of Mental Disorders) explains ASPD as follows; "a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 15." It then goes on to list 7 characteristics, which if you are unfamiliar with the disorder may not explain it very well.Here's the general profile of an Anti-Social:1. Incapable of feeling empathy and/or remorse for others2. Engages in "parasitic" relationships, "uses" people and then discards them3. Extreme difficulty dealing with stress and/or anxiety, easily becomes aggressive4. Superficial charm and/or affect. Seems like they're "faking it"5. Manipulative. There is a motive behind everything they do6. Limited range of emotions, basically anger is about it, and even then they typically only show it through physical displays and cannot express it through words7. Inability to accept consequences and/or responsibility for their actions8. A sense of entitlement and/or grandiosityPersonality disorders are pervasive chronic psychological disorders, which can greatly affect a person's life. Having a personality disorder can negatively affect one's work, one's family, and one's social life. Personality disorders exists on a continuum so they can be mild to more severe in terms of how pervasive and to what extent a person exhibits the features of a particular personality disorder. While most people can live pretty normal lives with mild personality disorders (or more simply, personality traits), during times of increased stress or external pressures (work, family, a new relationship, etc.), the symptoms of the personality disorder will gain strength and begin to seriously interfere with their emotional and psychological functioning.Those with a personality disorder possess several distinct psychological features including disturbances in self-image; ability to have successful interpersonal relationships; appropriateness of range of emotion, ways of perceiving themselves, others, and the world; and difficulty possessing proper impulse control. These disturbances come together to create a pervasive pattern of behavior and inner experience that is quite different from the norms of the individual's culture and that often tend to be expressed in behaviors that appear more dramatic than what society considers usual. Therefore, those with a personality disorder often experience conflicts with other people and vice-versa.
I see what you are saying, however, I have a hard time seeing either of the two sociopaths you mentioned being rehabilitated. I think sometimes things are just broken in these people, or not there and can't be repaired.
I'm not going to say anything bad on this guy. I've got too many friends that served in Nam that brought home things that you couldn't even imagine. Of course those hero's were thought of as baby rapers and killers of mothers, right? I best stop...I'm going to get all worked up.
Probably the kind that feels he deserves a token for putting away a bad guy.... however, he unfortunatly put the wrong guy away and now they all look stupid and will refuse to admit it.
He [KMC] wrote a good book about his experience. It was the first and only book I've read by a wrongfully convicted person [read it in '08 I believe] and I was just sick beyond measure for this man and the way he was treated. He didn't even get any state money for his wrongful conviction because of the way his release was worded. I hope he finally gets some justice from the state of Texas.
I didn't know there was a book, I might look it up as I think it would be an interesting read.

Here's the Wiki link and in it is the name of his book, Chasing Justice, along with other good info.
I consider myself a binge reader. I can usually put away a 500 page book in just a few days. In this case, I read the first approx. 1/3 of the book very fast. It was his background and the murder, ect. But, the last 2/3 was something else entirely. It was so difficult for me to read all the graphic things [mostly the typical prison horror] plus all the people and situations along the way that totally let this man down when they could have saved him. I can't think of any book that affected me so deeply.
I read a lot too, although not as much as I used to. I grew up on books, my dad's side of the family are all big readers. I was in my early teens when my fascination with true crime books started which shocked a few people at the time! This book sounds really interesting and I just got it on eBay, I can't wait to read it.
