Is Jeremy Bamber a Psychopath?

[gringo]

Except no one was suggesting that.

  You cannot suggest anything from handwriting; it is pseudoscience. There has been plenty of discussion about what can be discerned from JB's handwriting and his habit of writing in caps. Much has been read into this based on the pronouncements of a few snake oil salesmen and it is about as reliable as asking Mystic Meg.

"Among the evidence against Durst is a letter sent to Berman in 1999 that has handwriting strikingly similar to that on an anonymous note sent to Beverly Hills police at the time of Berman's killing, telling them that they would find "a cadaver" at Berman's house. In both samples, the writing is in all capital letters, and Beverly Hills is misspelled as "Beverley Hills."

What snide remarks? 

I am not stupid, the icyness is palpable.

Interesting link Steph - I wonder is Mrs Lowe managed to sell all of her snake oil?

I think you're reading too much into it - there were no snide remarks that I could see nor anything that can be taken as such.

  You do understand the difference between handwriting identification and the superstition of graphology, I hope. All this link shows is that two pieces of handwriting can be identified as being written by the same person. It has nothing to do with any of the previous posts and nothing to do with discerning personality from handwriting.
     Do you actually consider graphology as serious science?

Just checking you knew the difference.... 

No, I believe there are far too many other indicators regarding JB's personality that give us clues.

And it's not so much how he writes but what he says when he writes, or doesn't say in many cases. I do believe he uses NLP when he communicates.

   Do you mean NLP as in the NLP that "the balance of scientific evidence reveals to be a largely discredited pseudoscience" and the one that scientific reviews show to "contain numerous factual errors and fails to produce the results asserted by proponents". That NLP?

  Well you've bought some

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ........

Just because JB has some traits of psychopathy does not mean or prove he is one.

One would have to have most of the traits and exibit them consistently to be psychopath.

Mind you Psychopath and ASPD (Anti-social personality disorder) are not synonymous. Psychopathy is genetics while ASPD is a result of up brining.

If JB is guilty it would mean he is a 110% psychopath. The callousness of the crime plus the failure to take responsibility for it proves it all.

Nope, not that one. The one used by psychopaths.

Do you see your contradiction.

Yet no one here has murdered 5 members of teir family in cold blood. Jeremy doesn't just have one or two traits, the list could have been written for him!
