I believe Patsy was "hooked into" her God during her recovery and again following Jonbenet's death,however I see nothing to indicate she was suffering from psychosis. During her "drugged" period,following Jonbenet's death, and possibly under the influence of valium while waiting for a kidnapper's call,sure she may have had a drug induced psychosis,however this was not her normal character. I say psychosis because the "hearing of voices" the lack of contact with reality is beyond sociopathic behaviors.BrotherMoon said:This is wrong, very, very wrong.
You have to consider the irrational as well. This is a basic theme in the study of the criminal mind, the killer, the sociopath, the psychopath.
It is also basic to the study of belief and belief systems.
And, btw, sociopathy, psychopathy and religion all too often are indistinguishable.
The content of the note, 118, Victory! S.B.T.C , delivery, calling, proper burial, etc. coupled with; the death occurring on a sacred Christian holiday derived from pagan death and resurrection myths and Patsy's own admission of a percieved relationship with a super-natural being, hearing voices, her pleas for resurrection of the girl and the stange content of DOI, the many references to The Psalms in the case and the many similarities between literature Patsy is known to have been involved with and facts of the case, all point to a crime that if not out-right premeditated was the result of pre-existing patterns of behavior and compulsive thought.
To expect this murder to have been committed by a sociopath/psychopath seems reasonable, but IMO the perp isn't a Ramsey.
