April, I am intrigues by the repeated suggestions that he has been tested numerous times. Why may I ask would someone be tested this amount of times? Have you seen all the reports?
I also understand that an eminent psychologist brought in by the defense also thought he was a textbook case.
Yes Sheila was extremely uncoordinated. This has been mentioned numerous times by relatives who actually SAW her in the time leading up to her death. An uncoordinated, 9 stone woman is highly unlikely to be the culprit of this crime April. However, a fit, young man in the prime of his life definitely is - you can see why people have such a hard time believing Sheila's culpability.
Hi Daniel
I think you will find that its pretty standard for violent offenders to be reviewed on an annual basis. As I understand it JB's life sentence is exactly that ie no chance of parole but if this should ever change then I guess his psychological profile during his prison term would be taken into account.
I don't believe the 'eminent' psychologist you refer to actually met with JB. I think his defence discussed JB with the 'eminent' psychologist a few days before trial and apparently he/she said something along the lines of JB shows all the signs of a psychopathy as he was able to push things out of his mind. If this is the case it doesn't seem a very fair assessment ie a diagnosis without actually meeting the individual face-to-face. Imo prior to the trial JB was suffering the loss/grief of his entire immediate adoptive family and facing a criminal trial for murdering them so I guess it could be seen as a blessing if he was able to push some things out of his mind or it might have been overload.
The fact is there is no evidence to support the theory that JB was/is a psychopath only that he isn't as per the following:
