Amen! Even Dr. Phil states in his question and answer show in response to everyone speculating he did possibly have an issue like Aspergers. Dr. Phil was VERY blunt in the fact that he doesn't have any of those conditions. I would think if he did, his lawyer would have encouraged those diagnosis being revealed because people might be more understanding. However, if it was a deeper more dangerous diagnosis, the lawyers wouldn't want that released because then the viewers would have more of a reason to not like him. So in this case, I don't feel in my humble opinion that he had one of the spectrum issues. I think it was far more of a personality disorder with violent leanings. I agree that he's probably not committed another crime AFAWK that is. But that can always change. He's gotten away with it before and he seems to enjoy that knowledge. That is the reason he smiles imho.I think many people here are struggling with just what sort of person Burke was at age 9, and since some have experience with spectrum disorders, are positing that he's some form of autism, even if very high-functioning. It's hard to get your mind around the idea that a kid age 9 can be a sociopath or psychopath, so you try and find some way to explain his aberrant behavior. But now you throw in his recent interview with Dr. Phil, and he's actually that same 9 year old boy who said he was moving on with his life just 13 days after his sister was killed....who smiles and smiles while someone is asking him about her murder in the house where he was supposedly sleeping....who drops bread crumbs to the viewing audience with the same smirking grin on his face....No, AFAWK, he hasn't done anything since JonBenet's murder. But he hasn't needed to, either. Lots of murderers only kill once, or if they have more than one victim, these can be separated by years if not decades.
I'm tired of hearing excuses and explanations for this really repugnant person.
