Any facts supporting the belief that Chase has a tortured mind, or more tortured mind than others in that circle?
.
First of all, it doesn't matter if there are other more tortured minds in that circle, if those other tortured minds did not have the same 'circumstantial evidence' in this case which landed chase on trial. So we can ignore all those others until they are put before us on trial.
The defense is focusing on DK, so soon we will see if there are any credible and solid reasons to assume he is the real killer.
As for your question as to how 'tortured' chase's mind is----I think there is solid evidence. He was living with a tremendous amount of financial and legal and emotional stress, for decades. That kind of chaos and pressure creates psychological and emotional damage upon one's life.
We have endured one or 2 of those many things, that chase was enduring, at one time. We were audited by the IRS once because we accidentally befriended someone who ended up busted in a large business scam. Because we were , for a short time, in this idiot's social circle, we got 'noticed' by the IRS. My husband is in the entertainment business and anything involved with tv/film gets reflagged easily because of all the write-offs you can legally take as a working writer/producer. But it is a double edged sword. Those 2 years of being under the gun and having to meet with them, and hire tax attorney and negotiate etc etc....total stressful nightmare for us and our family. Luckily we came out, mostly ok, except for the tremendous legal fees and the time and effort and worry involved.
Then I look at chases's situation, and he had a multitude of accusations, complaints against him filed by various clients, business associates, the IRS, etc etc. We have read and linked many of them here, screen shot from RipOFF Reports as one example. people left their names and the dates and the amount that was stolen from them and where they filed actions against him. etc etc/
But it's just say, for arguments sake, that ALLL of those complaints and reports and lawsuits are fake and unfounded. EVEN IF SO, it would still lead to a tremendous amount of stress upon chase.
And we KNOW that his credit was shot and he couldn't even keep a checking account going, even when pulling in 173k in one year. And even when his bills were backed up, the rent was behind, he was still seen cashing thousands of dollars out of casino ATMS, to be gambled away. AND, he steals blank checks from his boss and begins cashing them, after backdating and deleting.
THAT^^^ is clear evidence of a tortured mind , in my opinion.
