I think the only ones who have come up with the dx of sociopath is the talking heads. They never interviewed her. Very unprofessional in my mind. I am waiting to see, if ever, the psychological or psychiatric analysis by someone who has actually interviewed her comes to light.
After all I don't think there is any way to label someone a sociopath with knowing a great deal about them. Granted she lied, many people , small white lies ,big lies.. lots of shades of grey in there. The motive is always muddy without real close observation. We only know what the press says, what Nancy Grace says. I don't think I consider them experts.
I think all her old friends commented on how she had changes after meeting her "new friends." They might have felt that way because she shut them out or they may have really noticed a big change in her behavior.
I am sure some of this will come out at trial. I hope they don't delay it for 3 or 4 years. I want to know ASAP.
I don't put a lot of faith into what her old friends are saying about the recent changes in KC and here's why. IIRC the pictures of her in the car, pants pulled down and such, were taken WITH her old friends. And then there are the "puking over the toliet", "beer pong" party, "anything but clothes" party and the other numerous party pictures as evidence of some of her past behavior. Many of those "old" friends were there right along with KC. Obviously KC liked to get drunk and party and has for a while. I think they just don't want to publicly admit that they were a part of all that. IIRC more than one of her "old" friends has admitted that KC lied so that is nothing new to them either.
"Old" friend KioMarie was certainly aware of KC's behavior. Ryan is an "old" friend too but by his own admission he will not be a good character witness for the defense because of what he knows about KC. The stealing is obviously nothing new either. I guess I am just curious as to who these "old" friends are that are saying KC has changed. Cindy saying that is what KC's old friends are saying doesn't carry a whole lot of weight with me at this point because that would mean admitting that KC has been like this her whole life. That is never going to happen IMO. I think it is easier for CA to blame the new friends for her daughter's behavior rather than to publicly admit that KC has always been the way she is now.
If I am not mistaken, according to Ryan's statment to LE even Cindy said that KC was a sociopath so it is not just the talking heads that have labeled KC as such. Those of us who have had or who still have a "diagnosed" sociopath in our lives, recognize the same signs and behaviors in KC. We may not be "professionals" but then I don't believe that any of us are claiming to be such. We draw our conslusions and opinions based on our own life experiences with a sociopath. Personally I believe that KC's psychological test results will prove that we were not wrong about KC being a sociopath but that is just MOO.
