Just saw an interview with his youngest daughter on Soft White Underbelly. The schizophrenic was a masterful act, whenever he felt that the FBI got too close to him he got himself comitted for 3 weeks into the psychatric hospital. so he worked on his being "not fit for trial".

Well what exactly is a bad guy? I think way too many people try and take their opinion of something and try to change societies morals based on that opinion. I mean let's say a guy takes a bat and smashes another guy in his head 5 times in a row. You label him a bad guy. Well what if the guys was a serial rapist and killer who kept getting away with it. Let's say you kill me. You're a bad guy right? Well what if we had agreed beforehand to duel to the death? Truthfully I think the only way that one can clearly label something or someone as bad is if they or it is doing harm to something that is pure and innocent.

It’s true, he did reveal both duplicity and fraud within the Psych-Industry. It was his favorite pastime and his crusade helped him fill the endless hours of incarceration. He was involved in many lawsuits which sought monetary compensation for the duplicity and he decided that he would prosecute the fraud criminally and he managed to send much of the fraud behind bars so that he could murder that too.

It's hard to fool a psychologist, in a therapy session, when it comes to specific mental illness disorders, but even a therapy session done in conjunction with a CT or MRI scan can't conclusively determine that a traumatic brain injury (TBI) hasn't been sustained, and a TBI could potentially cause a wide spectrum of unusual types of behavior. If it could be shown that he engaged in activity that would have put him at risk for suffering a TBI, such as a career in boxing, I believe it would be very difficult to conclusively determine whether it was an act or not.
