No NN I do not subscribe to what you have just stated. You have trawled and then made fit - a poor way of arguing if I may be so bold. Tracie Andrews stabbed her boyfriend repeatedly before he even had time to defend himself (in his back numerous times) or fight back so to use this as an example is not appropriate. Jane Andrews smashed her boyfriend with a cricket bat and then stabbed him with a kitchen knife while he slept, again NOT an appropriate example. The closest recent example is Jodi Arias very recently convicted of her ex-boyfriend's grisly murder. However, she also gave him little chance to fight back. NN, Nevil had the chance to fight back - entirely different scenarios tot he one you have used as 'examples. Furthermore, the multiple reviews in prison would seem a complete nonsense if he was a psychopath. Since this is deemed pretty much a lifelong condition, what would they exactly be expecting to change? I would very much like to see these 'reports' and on what basis they were conducted. The eminent psychologist DID examine Bamber - a man brought in by the defense at his original trial back in 1986. The defense team were very nonplussed by the result in which they awere very much hoping would show Bamber as perfectly normal. As a result of the examination they decided - rather shredly not to use his testimony.
NN the ability to push things out of your mind and psychopathy are two VERY different things. It seems you may have confused the two. We all have the ability to push certain unpleasant aspects of our lives out if our mind to 'put it to the back of our minds' is a human virtue, and allows us to get on with other more important things, temporarily. However, to put the brutal murder of 5 of your family to the back of your mind is a something else. A detective that questioned Jeremy bamber stated that he felt there was 'something missing' with him - of course you will scoff at this, just like most things the police have done that point towards Bamber;s guilt, but it does highlight Bamber's disturbing ability to remain totally unconcerned, and hgave rise to the suspicions that he was involved in the first place. Therefore it was highly significant.
Daniel, in 1985 I was convinced of Jeremy's guilt. I was also convinced that he had buried what he's done. As you pointed out a psychopath wouldn't have done this because they would not have felt the need and, as you say there are differences between those of us who bury what we can't cope with and psychopaths. After all this time in prison, had he just buried his crime, I think the mask would have slipped, much in the way as soldiers who fought during the war and never revealed the horrors they witnessed. Many of these men, now in their 90s are experiencing unspeakable nightmares. What they believed had been successfully buried is clawing it's way out. I am totally convinced that had he buried it, by now he would be experiencing, if not flashbacks, perhaps a moments recall of the pleading in his parents' eyes or something they may have said. It may cause him to catch his breath, or forget what he is saying, or cause him to be far away. It will surely have been revealed during one of the many tests that he's been subjected to.
