You cover these stories with the respect they need and I really admire that. The ones that you can insert humour into are great, but your ability to do both is much appreciated ♥️
He's not at all respectful to Dr Petit.
@@LaMaestra2102 there’s the odd time where his type of humour may not be what another feels it should be, nobody is perfect but I do stand by my point. Thanks.💜
I live 40 mins from Cheshire and the police 100% did a terrible job. Nobody took initiative, they let the criminals guide the events of that day and they did NOTHING to circumvent. If you think the Cheshire cops were bad, read up on Tracey Thurman and the City of Torrington CT.
I had to read her story in several installment because I couldn’t stomach it.
i cannot believe what i just read...
We had a similar case in Castle Rock, CO. Unfortunately, the courts sided with law enforcement and their case has become widely cited as a refutation of the Thurman Law, stating that police officers have no obligation to protect a private citizen. It's sickening where the attitudes in law enforcement have gone.
I think the cops were being lazy and thought they’d catch the on the way out. Defund the police. Fund mental care and any poverty initiatives.
@@sbobsage5292 you sound like a fool! Defunding the police ISNT the answer! You're sickening. You literally sound more angry at the police than the murderers!
This case was terrible. I met Dr Petit a number of times through work before this occurred and just knowing what happened to his entire family was heartbreaking. He struggled with being the soul survivor for a very long time. Your right Dr Grande, the cops were extremely negligent. I remember when the mayor praised the po's on doing an incredible job.....I'm not sure how he was able to assume they did. Thanks so much.
I understand that Dr. Petit remarried. I wish him peace.
@@michelmurphy1979 I haven't seen him since the trial, but learned through coworkers he did meet someone...I'm happy for him.
One thing I love about the doctor, he doesn't let the police or the justice system off the hook easily.
Dr. Grande, thank you for talking about the police and the mayor in this case! The horrible cowardice and negligence of the police, and that disgusting comment the mayor made, praising them for their cowardice and negligence were both abhorrent. I feel that it is SO important for people to know how the police handled this case! Also, I appreciate what you said about what we can learn from this case. Your advice on judging criminals/people based on their behavior and not their words is vitally important! I saw the documentary on this case years ago, and I've never seen or heard of a sadder one since. Unfortunately, I've heard of many cases where the police and/or judges and government officials have been incompetent and corrupt, but this case just....it really takes the prize for adding the most insult to injury. I mean...who the hell says something like what that mayor said? And he said it PUBLICLY! Omg...that poor family! If I were the father, I would rather have died than have to know and remember what happened to my wife and kids in their final living hours.Thank you for covering this case the way you did.
yeah, I don't understand y the police acted the way they did. I was thinking maybe police 'protocols' prevented them from going in?? But to praise them wen the outcome was SO horrific is just disgusting & almost as disturbing as the crime itself 😰
I love the way Dr. Grande drags the mayor and the police. So glad to hear the police set up a perimeter so the culprits could do as they liked to the family sans interruption.
As a CT resident, I agree that the dragging is well-deserved, and most of us wouldn't mind if it was literal.
Questioning the police is usually a sign of an interesting smart person, rock on. Oh, and cute hat ;)
Jennifer Hawke-Petit is from my neck of the woods. This crime was the most vicious and violent I'd heard of up to that point. It hit so much harder because she was a former Hometown Girl.😢😭😱
Dr. Petit has since remarried and had children.
The Murders of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, in Knoxville, Tennessee is a rough one… I’m hoping Dr. Grande does an analysis of that case; frankly he may be the only Podcaster worthy and capable of properly presenting the facts of that case!?!?!?!
I can't wait for the Mental Health & Personality analysis of Dr. Todd Grande fans
Lololol I would love to hear that!
Is it weird to comfort myself with true crime when I'm anxious about the US election??
He’s done it.
@@marthasalter405 Well, yes ;0) And that makes two of us.
Don't forget the five factor model. O.C.E.A.N. 😉 and that we're not diagnosing anybody, but rather speculate what could be happening in a situation like this. 😅
This case is soo crazy!
Also, I’ve noticed you are gaining about 1K new subs a day! 👊🏻👏🏻 well deserved
"There is no justice, there is no restoration, there are only degrees of suffering." I feel like I have to put that at the beginning of a metal song...
Followed by chugs and brees.
XGrandecorex
Yassss!
Homicidal Retribution by Dying Fetus is the song you might be looking for
it's true though...no matter what punishment these men receive for their crimes, it's never really justice and there's no restoration, even if they rot in prison forever. Crimes don't end with the verdict.
Good job. My office is in Cheshire and I live a short distance away from the Petite home. It definitely rocked the community...and Connecticut.
Horrible 😢
So the cops just didn't go in? I'm confused. This family was set on fire while the cops were outside?
Yes. Stop blaming the police. Blame the killers!
@@mrsx7944 Thats like saying its the teacher's fault your kid is dumb.
Excellent point: "if they only tried to protect the Petit family as much as they are trying to protect themselves." Just, yes. Yes. Yes.
OMG!!! When Dr. Grande talks about the police and Mayor. I feel so bad laughing at such horrible circumstances, but I can't help it. Dr. Grande never change.
Heard the heck outta that :)
A bit of an emotional dilemma: hoping that Dr. Grande is not over-working ...and... looking forward so much to his brilliant video analyses every day!
My guess is, he does not need as much sleep as most people do and is doing all the work for the videos at night.
“There is no justice, and there is no restoration, there are only degrees of suffering.” Taken out of context, Dr Grande sounds like a nihilist philosopher 😆 Really kind of sums up how I feel during this pandemic.
He is getting black pilled
This statement lingered in my mind. I believe it stayed in my mind because it is absolutely true!
Kind of how I feel about this presidency. 😎
Very true comments!!!! 🐕🐕🐕🐕
Very dark words from Dr Grande but they ring true. The husband suffered deeply ~ grief, horror, and survivor's guilt ~ and it took him years to set his life back to a semblance of normalcy. And IMO the Cheshire Police have blood on their hands. I'm glad Dr Grande spoke his opinion on that.
Its scary to think of how many lives were ruined in this case...I mean every assault or murder case is the same, thats what makes it scary
Excellent analysis Dr Grande, your scientific outlook on subjects coupled with your open mindedness to explore taboo topics are characteristics that I adore about your channel and personality.
Really terrible crime, it reminded me of the case from the book "In Cold Blood", maybe you can make a video about that crime. Great analysis as allways Dr. Big.
You’ve got my support. I’ve already asked but so far not many.
Not only are your videos informative and humorous but your analysis is very insightful. You lack sensationalism, which is such a relief in this day and age. And as evidenced by the last part of this video your ethics are perfectly pitched. I think you're the best thing on the internet Dr Grande. Thank you for using your platform for spreading sense to counteract the seemingly infinite volume of nonsense available to all.
This case still haunts me to this day. I remember seeing the dad on Oprah not long after the murders and it never left my mind. He was so devastated, helpless and just completely shuttered by what happened to his family. I think he also had survivor's guilt or not being able to save his family. I saw an update some years later where they showed he got re-married and seemed like he found some happiness again. This case was very tragic. If anybody deserves a death penalty, it is these two cowards.
This is so sad. The way you speak about these cases is done with such respect, understanding and empathy. This case really broke my heart. I can’t imagine how the father feels being the only survivor. Is there a sense of survivors guilt? How does he move on from such horrific events? So devastating. Thank you for an informative & thought provoking video Dr. Grande.
Thank you going over this case I remember reading about this, it's ashame that people had to lose their lives at the hands of these monsters. Great job!
I find your mental heath analysis of these cases very informative. Thank you for teaching us so much about mental health and specific disorders and how they affect people and the decisions they make in different situations and in life itself. We are getting alot of knowledge for free so I hope people will continue to donate to your channel. Thank you for taking the time to educate and enlighten us. 🙂👍
I appreciate these videos. I do hope the Dr returns to videos about diagnoses and therapeutic issues also. I liked the variety.
Dr Grande speaks truth like Walker Texas Ranger kicks pistols out of hands.
😂
Bravo Dr. Grande! As usual you never disappoint with your fine words of wisdom.- Thank you for the video
Hello doctor, whenever there is a crisis in and/or around you, your topics become more brutal every day. Literally till one has to stop listening to them. I always regret when stories like this come out of a mouth that sweet.
OMG DR G!! I cant wait to listen to your podcast!! I cant believe Ive been sleeping on that this whole time! ❤️✨
Informative video!! Thank you Dr. Grande! You are so well-spoken 💜
I remember watching this documentary and be terrified. For over a week I double checked every lock on my windows and doors before going to bed at night.
Your content and your delivery continue to excel.
I mean Dr Grande has some banger videos, but the way in which this one shines light down the cold dark alley of the police action (if you can call it that), the unemotional recitation of the crimes committed, and the way in which the death penalty facts are laid bare makes this absolutely legendary. Thank you for the constant reminder to abstain from emotions when weighing facts and their dire effects on consequences.
Great video as always thanks DR Grande.
So many have brain injuries! Today is my 5 year aneurversary. 5 years ago, I survived a hemorrhagic stroke caused by an aneurysm rupture in my right frontal lobe 💙
The police should’ve never set up a perimeter, they should’ve went into the house immediately. That’s is clear negligence and I’m sure the city paid out a lot of money for it. Doesn’t make up for his loss but it’s something.
@@tangogent firstly....the Dad lived so him. Secondly the extended family.
I'm sure they had grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc. A family isn't exclusively one household.
@@tangogent are you serious? It’s not the police, it’s the city and they would make restitution to the husband for his loss. What didn’t you get??
"I'm sure that the city paid out a lot of money for it?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You must live in such a very different world from the one I do. The reason we can't even talk to so many people, is they just don't have any idea clearly... it is frustrating, but I need to consistently remember that you kind have to know to understand. That is why I am so determined to get police worn body cameras in my country, encourage people to film police constantly for yourself and others, and I am trying to set up my own police complaint site, so that we can at least collect experiences and the associated data as best we can ourselves. Seeing things on camera doesn't always work, but it does drive it home for some people.
First, run into house and situation armed and blindly.
Second, set up perimeter.
That makes perfect sense 🤦♀️
It hurts that they could have lived.I cant believe the police just sat on stand by. Its like they were scared and weren't trained to handle this situation. They did this with the blm riots and the store owners had to protect their own property.
I still need a shirt doc that says just a reminder I'm not diagnosing anyone here.
Check out his merch.. the "i'm not diagnosing .... just speculating about what could be happening here" T shirt with huge spectacles below it. He's a funny guy
that's the front of the shirt; the back might say "underestimate me; then prepare to be entertained".
Love it!!..lol
I need one that says I'll put the link to Patreon in the description for this video
I love you, Dr.Grande!!!! 😍I requested this case, after watching the documentary! Besides the nervous anxiousness of the current national events...you made my day!👍✌🏼
thank you for your work Doctor! I found your channel couple days ago and im hooked!
This is by far my favorite video of yours, Doc. You really did make me think deeply about the death penalty.
This case is crazy. My dad was friends with the Dad when he was in middle school so the case seems more real then other casee. With some cases you can divorce yourself from the case and almost view it as a story, but i can't do this with this case.
Wow! Your father must have been horrified to hear about this! You know...I don't know anyone who has any connection at all with this case, but there's something about it. It's not one that I can divorce myself from either. It feels like it happened in my town or to people I know. I definitely feel terrible for other victims of violent crimes even if they don't feel familiar to me, but the Pettits feel very familiar.
It's the family photo that does it for me. They just look like your regular family of four that was doing so well and one girl on the cusp of adulthood. It's just so haunting and sad.
case case case case case
Even in really gruesome cases like this one you still make me laugh out loud with your dry comments..."The David Koresh Guide etc". I wouldn't miss your videos for the world, you are one of the high spots in my day. Thank you very much 😂
Law enforcement was incompetent, lazy and plain cowards. Great analysis as always. Have you ever thought of writing a book?....maybe a compilation of your analyses on various cases, I bet true crime enthusiasts would scoop it up! (I would!) And...The David Koresh Guide To Dealing With Hostage Situations....I love you.
Would you consider an analysis of the Slaton Sisters (Amy and Tammy Slaton aka The 1000 lb Sisters featured on TLC channel). They have YT channels and their show is available on TLCgo or On Demand, in addition to many YT vids made by others to give you an overview and background.
Dr Grande, your analysis was well done as usual, thank you. I appreciated your evaluation and opinions of the gross errors by the police, the most likely plan of the criminals and especially your views on capital punishment versus life in prison w/o parole. I learn something from every video.
You are a wonderful contribution to my research papers this semester! Thank you!
Always love your videos!!!
Thanks for your hard work doc.
I absolutely love your channel Dr. Grande! You intelligent exams of human behavior with common sense is incredible. I was wanting to know if you have heard of the missy beavers case. If not when you get the time could you cover that one? Peace to you, God bless and can't wait until the next video.😊
hi dr todd i dont know if you will see this but here in the UK it is bonfire night and that means lots and lots of fireworks. i suffer pretty bad with PTSD and i do not cope well with the loud bangs. your voice is really keeping me grounded and calm so thank you.
He deserves more subscribers. Good information in a decent amount of time
As unbelievable as this may sound, I watched a program several months ago where a reporter was interviewing Hayes who claimed that he had submitted a request for a sex change operation because he felt that he was created to be a woman and that God had made a mistake. In his warped mind, he believed that he deserved to have something he wanted since he had to spend the rest of his life in jail and was "struggling with depression." I couldn't believe what he was saying and his cocky attitude. Surely such a surgery would never be approved and put into place, although Haye's lawyer said that it was Hayes' right to receive "medical treatment" that would make his "sad life" better. Oh really. If such a surgery were to ever take place--and I can't imagine it would even be considered--it would only show our tax dollars to be "hard at work" yet again.
And BTW, Dr. Grande, I'm HOOKED on your channel.
He's trying to make a spectacle so that people will pay attention to him. It's sick to even think that a man who raped and murdered a woman should be allowed to transform himself into a woman while in prison. He should just be ignored in solitary confinement.
The gist of his change would be that he would be housed in the women’s unit. Free to violate again.
this is clear and blatant manipulation by him. there are other factors that he identified in a podcast that were false. with the only person to validate his claims having died 2 years after the murders, his mother would be spinning in her grave knowing what he's claimed. i learned about the claims long after and to be fair, i had no interest in challenging his claims on her behalf. if he chose to disparage our mother, that's on him. it's not my role to preserve or refute his lies. i did my job. he belongs to history now.
I appreciate Dr Grande's take home lessons here. Dr Grande is a consummate teacher.
I remember this nightmare. Horrific
Brilliant analysis and thoughts.
Excellent analysis of a callous crime. Your points about manipulation and the futility of the death penalty are so very important.
You did such an excellent job with this crime story. This crime, for me, is one of the most horrifying crimes that I have ever heard of. It's so diabolical. Thank you. Always interesting to hear you speak.
Thank you for this.... such a horrific crime, but so well presented. Please look after yourself, and take care Dr.
Those are maybe the most cogent observations and the most provocative questions about the death penalty issue that I’ve heard. Thank you!
Exactly. One thing that I always wonder about, which would be the best "deterrent". Is the death penalty scarier or is life in prison scarier? One of the reasons why medieval death penalties could be extremely brutal (just look up breaking at the wheel for example) was that they believed it would be a great deterrent. It's interesting... you would think that actual psychopaths wouldn't be deterred (because they are often fearless) but that "normal people gone bad" might think twice. Wonder if there's any research on this.
@@Mammel248 You are exactly right and it’s not just psychopaths who are not deterred. Crime statistics show no downward trajectory immediately after an execution. For one thing, no one plans to get caught. For another, many killings are impulsive and the killer isn’t “thinking” about anything, simply acting out of rage. For another, grandiosity makes many think that they’re superior to the authorities (which may be true sometimes) and that they can always stay one step ahead. My dad used to tell me that pickpockets used public hangings of pickpockets to work the crowd. (Not sure where he learned that...) Executions are clearly motivated by our desire, as a society, for revenge, pure and simple. I would surely want to kill someone who hurt my kids or grandkids - after first torturing them - but I wouldn’t actually have the stomach for it. Dr. Grande’s observations are spot on.
y the heck is capital punishment so expensive? it makes no sense that the death penalty is more expensive than life in prison?
it's prbly the costs of judicial proceedings I guess. This seems a gross injustice of our "Justice" system. & the length of time of appeals ughhh...
I guess to ensure that no guilty person is ever executed but omg in a case like this its hard not to want swift & lethal justice.
Seems like you're one of the few people in this comment section doing any critical thinking (though at this point any sort of thinking would do). Many are just taking Grande's opinion for granted, even though he's talking out of school--psychologist giving the impression that he's an expert on public policy and moral philosophy. He seems to be incorrectly using a psychoanalytic and utilitarian paradigm (this is how you end up with Sadism) as primary paradigms for addressing a justice issue.
Thanks for touching on the death penalty tonight, Dr. G. You brought up some really good points there. Excellent vid, as always.🤗
That's absolutely spot on regarding justice. Closure is another idea that makes no sense to anyone who has lost someone in a violent manner.
I looked up Cheshire home invasion and you popped up! I’m already subscribed but chose your video because I trust your tidy coverage based on all your other videos.
This commentary is possibly my favourite so far 😊
Nice comment about the police actions and cost/nature of 'punishment', restoration and suffering. More discussion on these issues needed. Great analysis as always.
Another great video Dr. Grande. Always love seeing a new video daily. A few video ideas I have interest in. First is the death penalty. I am curious to your opinion on it. Especially given you use logic, fact, and rationale. I feel this would create great discussion as well. Another video idea is on spree killer Richard Speck and fictional character Patrick Bateman.
What are the personality and mental health factors behind trying to write the first comment?
Lolol I can’t say, I’m wearing Dr. G’s merch that’s says I’m not diagnosing anyone today! Lol but I like the giggl I got from this comment between you two! So thanks! 💜
My guess they are all retired first responders who botched one job in their career, then make it up by commeting here. :)
Seek attention.
Looking for their 15 minutes of fame.
Excellent video on the case, and mindfully done. An awfully tragic case but you gave it the respect and quality analysis it deserved. I enjoyed listening to your three points at the end too regarding the death penalty, police, and to never underestimate how manipulate criminals can be. Quality video 👍
Thank you Dr. Grande for another great analysis. This story shook me to the core when I stumbled upon it one slow afternoon at work about five years ago. The fact that this picture perfect family and their lives turned into the worst thing imaginable is just so so so disquieting. Just a reminder to consider an analysis of Erika and Benjamin Sifrit. REALLY curious your thoughts on those folks. 🙏
Totally awesome. Absolutely 🔥 Doc.
I saw a documentary about this case was very sad and horrible what happened to that family. I hope all is well with you and your family. I like the color of your shirt. Have a great night!!
I still hope that you’ll do a podcast one day. I can’t wait for the day!
What I think likely makes you a good personal therapist/counselor shows in your empathy towards the people you cover. Covering horrific acts on a daily basis and still maintaining empathy and a general hope in other people has to be difficult.
It's nice to see your empathy has survived the darkness.
Thank you. Appreciate your analysis and recommendations
Any chance you could do one or two videos about one or two really nice and really well adjusted people for a change? This would surely be interesting and could also be useful and inspiring for your viewers!
We really need that.
You took the words right out of my mouth!
I agree.
I've said the same.
I mean it would help to hear that voice cuz it's a very soothing relaxing voice thank you Dr Grande
Horrific case. Excellent video with insightful take-aways. 👍🏼
Notes to self: “The desire for revenge is destructive even when it’s fully warranted.”
“There is no justice. There is no restoration. There are only degrees of suffering.” 💔
I always learn something new on your channel, Dr Grande. A lot of topics of your Mental Health and Personality videos are people I have not heard of.
Also would you do a video on Chris Watts’ most recent plans to appeal his sentence? I heard he has a private investigator and a woman that are helping/encouraging him to do so. Would this be anything new to talk about or would it just be repetitive to what you’ve already covered?
Nice analysis about the death penalty at the end of the video there doctor Grande. Thanks for another good video.
Your such a wise man! Always learning from ya!! Like the personality break down and faucets..I'm catching on lol:)
Great job, Dr.
You keep amazing me.
I can’t with this one, Dr Grande !! Too horrific 😭😭💔💔💔
Excellent episode. Kinda curious if you'll do Andrei Chikatilo the Rostov Ripper?
You're the best Dr. Grande
Tell em Dr Grande!! Love it.
THANK YOU Dr. Grande!!!! Your best video YET in my critique of the many I have viewed! I love how you step up and show you are a caring person with intelligent thought regarding your commentary on the use of the death penalty! I am not a fan of the death penalty at all--I feel this is killing someone which is never right for any reason--no matter what they do it is not our place to take another life (ok I do kill spiders or an occasional ant but that's about it)...... such a sad case and it is so nice of you to review it. Thank you again!
Your comment produced a warm feeling in my heart center!~Literally!
Thank you Dr Grande, but I have to ask...what happened to Dr Venti?
Dr. Trenta couldn’t handle being less popular for his size.
I almost didn’t watch this video because I remember this case vividly, and it is absolutely horrific. Such a tragedy for this family...I can’t even think about what the family members went through, and what Dr. Petit has to live with to this day. I remember watching parts of the trial, and he looked like a broken man. I don’t like the death penalty, but if there are any two people who deserve it...these two are top of the list. I hope they rot. Thank you Dr. Grande for tackling this terrible crime.
That’s the thing, I could care less about what happens to these two monsters but even if they were on death row, the appeals drag on for over 10-20 years. Many on death row either die from illness or old age first.
And as Dr. Todd said, it’s much more costly to house people on death row
As usual, very well presented, Dr Grande. I wonder if you might cover the Colebrook, NH story of Carl Drega, a man pushed to his limits which resulted in murder and chaos.
The police’s failure to act contributed to the mother and children dying. How on earth could they say oh we did a great job here
I think it was just the mayor trying to cover their ass, albeit in a very tone deaf way
I love your channel. Can you do Ignatius J. Reilly from 'A Confederacy of Dunces' next?
My mother was babysitting my nephew downstairs at my uncles house, and my three-year old nephew says, "Aunty, who's coming down the stairs?"
My mother, also hearing the creaky stairs and paralyzed with fright, takes hold of my nephew and waits.
Nothing.
She gets up a few seconds later to find the front door (at the bottom of the stairs and which was previously closed) wide open, and no one in the house.
My uncle lived two houses from the Petits on Sorghum Mill Drive in Cheshire and to this day, we all believe that Joshua Komisarjevsky was in my uncle's house that day. Someone was, and that's an affluent, well monitored area.
Could have been tragic.
Hi dr. Grande,
I feel the most important part of your videos expose the reasons why these people commit these crimes. There are always reasons and it's important we understand and learn to correct these dysfunctional behaviors!
I enjoy your work immensely but I cant necessarily say I agree with everything you say.
For example if you told me to take a long walk on a short pier, I'd have to disagree because I cant swim!
So, no one achieves perfection and we all need to use intellectual discrimination or even more powerfully, intuition.
A combination of the two is quite a one, two punch!
this reminds of that famous story "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote, that would make a cool video!
sadly, it has been a common comparison.
I really enjoy Dr. Grande’s videos. But this is so tragic that I cannot even watch it.
With respect to the questions about the deterrent effect of the death penalty: Crime statistics show that it has no deterrent power. For one thing, murderers don’t plan on getting caught. For another, some think that their superiority to the police will keep them one step ahead. Also, many killings (especially of partners) are impulsive. The killer is not pausing to consider consequences even when they are the obvious suspect and they’re so enraged that the thinking part of the brain is not engaged. My lawyer dad used to tell me that at the public hangings of pickpockets in days gone by in Europe (considered public holidays), pickpockets would work the crowd. Dunno where Pop heard that, but it sounds right.
I feel so horrible that he lost his entire family.. I honestly don't know if I could have stayed in the bank knowing my husband and kids were in that house. I think she should have though and I think if she did the outcome could have been different.. The police did a HORRIBLE job..
I completely agree. If my husband and children were left in the house I probably would have done the same as she did. Of course hindsight is 20/20. A position NO one should ever have to be in. Horrible; just horrible.
I know, it is impossible to know how all this cud hav gone dwn if she wud hav stayed. Of course knowing wat happened ( hindsight like u said) helps make it seem obvious.
But her staying cud hav triggered Hayes to go crazy & run back to the house & do all this anyways. It seems like it cud hav gone terrible a lot of ways
Thank you. Stay safe.
Dr. Grande, Thank you for another detailed and insightful video. I have watched a number of your videos over the past year and wondered if you would be willing to make one, time permitting, on the following: It is my understanding that factor 1 psychopathy is reflected in the five factor model with low or extremely low neuroticism. Is it the case that factor 1 psychopathy combined with factor 2 features, or another disorder often results in elevated neuroticism? In a person determined to be a factor 1 psychopath without features from other disorders, are there cases where neuroticism is still high or medium? Continue the great work!
There are no words. Such a brutal, sad case. Unimaginable.
Amazing police work yet again!!! Job well done!!!!
I love when someone uses the word "comprised" correctly! It is so rare!
when did he use this word? I love this vocabulary!
What’s the incorrect usage of the word?
I really liked your commentary on the police work here.
What a horrible devastating crime. I would live to hear your thoughts on prevention of the evolution of conduct disorders or how to redirect psychathic tendencies in children.
