The documents from the court stated that DG was a genius. In my opinion DG would have been sent through rigorous psychiatric testing upon his arrest for meth production/identity theft/evading police ... This psych review would be completed by a court approved psychiatrist and a report would be presented, in court, to the judge.
The term genius is a reflection of IQ. A standardized psychiatric assessment would include a number of different assessments of IQ...Furthermore, the court documents stated DG suffered from ADHD, a diagnosis which I believe was provided in a court ordered psychiatric review.
I once read a book ,"In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" by Dr. Gabor Mate, which defines an observeable link between ADHD and the use of stree level stimulants (mostly methamphetamine). The book is essentially about his experiences with drug addicts on East Hastings Street in Vancouver BC...Dr. Mate talks about ADHD and how sufferers can be geniuses but without stimulant medication they lack the brain chemistry to focus and organize themselves and their thoughts. Dr. Mate claims if an ADHD individual uses a stimulant as strong as methamphetamine, they will experience a perfect mental clarity and will function at almost superhuman mental ability. The book also discusses how prescription medication for ADHD is not strong enough to produce this level of mental perfection, thus damning the ADHD person into a life of methamphetamine use and inevitable street dwelling.
DG could very well have been a user, and his IQ would have allowed him to make very pure product(methamphetamine)... Which he could have easily continued making for personal use throughout the years. If he was disciplined enough he would have been able to take a "therapeutic dose" and provided he has his drugs would have appeared quite normal/high functioning.
Meth gives users superhuman strength and the ability to stay awake for days in end.... This, coupled with a, possibly legitamit , genius IQ would make DG a very dangerous man...
I could be totally off base here, just my opinion
