"I do have a graduate degree in Psychology so I know a little bit about it....."

Oh, fine.... Excuse me for my observations using only common sense, and lack of clinical expertise.

The bottom line:a murderer has exonerated of 3 murders, done with willful intent, and no amount of analysis can change that fact.

The extent of psychosis or at whatever level, only confirms the fact that the woman was a sick-o, and deserves the punishment the law provides. If every psychotic murderer were allowed to use the insanity "victim" defense, then the hospitals would have no room for anyone else.

It cannot be denied that mental problems (from societal mal-adjustment to the extreme psychotic) are involved in EVERY murder, but that does not excuse nor remove the guilt from the behavior.

.yes, but using common sense when dealing with mental disorders does not work...and I did NOT say all psychotics should be free from prosecution....it depends on the situation and the clinical evaluation...in fact, most psychotics and ALL sociopaths though sick are most likely guilty of murder....in this case....the severity and pattern over the long term etc leads me to believe that the episode rendered her unable to resist the act.....Charles Krauthammer, a Psychiatrist and FOX commentator also came to that conclusion....and I would hardly call him an uninformed whacko......
