I just find it interesting that there is so much choice involved along the way. They can choose whether or not to empathize with a person in a given situation, and then they can choose whether or not they will victimize that person. I always understood that their lack of empathy was something...

I totally agree. Adolescence is an age where they need so much more support than we often think in order to for their minds to continue to develop in a healthy manner. That's why all the gore and violence and sex and such that kids are so often exposed to does matter. If you have children...

"Psychopathy may not be so much the incapacity to empathize, but a reduced propensity to empathize, paired with a preserved capacity to empathize when required to do so." That is SUCH an interesting article! So these guys might be able to make the CHOICE to just turn their empathy on and off...

I'm sorry, I didn't follow that trial. What does the "stabby stab stab" have to do with Arias? TIA

I suppose that's possible. I'm really interested in the answer to this question. I guess I'm just not used to such frankly self-incriminating statements anymore! I agree with the above poster who saw each girl trying to paint herself as less of a leader than the other. But still, they both...

Also, can someone help me understand where the parents would be during the interviews? Would the girls have to have spoken to their parents before their interviews?

Hello everybody, So I'm not exactly new, I only pop in every now and again, but I had to come running to see what the Websleuths had on this case! lol Anyway, I am wondering how much these girls really prepared for this murder, and to what extent. In the complaint, we read that "W was...

Yes, Linda7NJ, I can certainly understand that perspective. As for myself, as deeply horrific as the situation is, sometimes, as I read, I find my heart swelling with gratitude to God for all the lives that were spared, when the gunman had so much more ammo on him. I am grateful for the...

I am a SAHM now, but I have taught both kinder and first grade in the past (I only taught for 4 years all together). In any case, I remember my first year of teaching, there was a robbery at gunpoint at the bank down the street, prompting the school to go into lockdown. Oh, man! If the...

WOO, I agree with you re these mammoth elementary schools. In fact, I agree with you so much that I refuse to send my first grader to the 600+ student school around the corner. I have him at a very small charter school, we're talking about 14 kids per grade level. But I have to say, in a...

I also plan to talk to my son's principal this week about weaknesses I note in the school's security. But the good thing is that I see lots of this sort of thinking happening in the schools already, just in the last couple of days. My best friend and husband both work in elementary schools...

Hi, long-time lurker here. I just wanted to say that I LOVE the idea of training veterans as school security, and I would add that the veteran security officer should be the only armed employee on the campus. Veterans often have a shamefully hard time finding employment in the civilian world...

I'm sorry that happened to you, especially since you were just a girl at the time. I will likely be facing a similar dilemma soon, and so I have put considerable thought into what I will do. And I do believe that such a situation is, as you say, "a two-edged sword." I think that if you are...

Does Shaken Baby Syndrome cause immediate death? I don't know much about it, but I thought that if it was fatal, it took a while. Anyway, if it can cause instant death, then I like your theory. Shaken baby syndrome is, IMO, a scenario kinda between an accident and murder, which helps...

Really? Was it established that they did have a landline after all? I must have missed that. I remember going through many, many pages of, "So if the intruder took all their cellphones so they wouldn't call out, it had to be someone who knew that they did not have a landline..."

Yeah, I think LE determined early on that baby Lisa is not alive. All the mystery makes me appreciate the CA case. At least there, you knew why LE was not looking for a live Caylee. In this case, we can only speculate as to what LE knows that would motivate them to focus on searching rivers...

I thought LE abandoned both the Amber Alert and the search command post rather quickly. To me, that says that they know a whole lot more than what they are telling us--and it's not good. Add to that the fact that the FBI website does not have Lisa listed as a kidnapping, and then it really...

Thank you so much for posting the link to this clip. Wow! I mean, I'm no Lillian Glass, but come on! And, yes, the fact that she would not have mentioned the dumpster fire to Jeremy speaks VOLUMES. So thanks again. Your post has helped me to make my mind up about this case.

^THIS!!^ Thank you for giving words to my thoughts.
