I had someone watch the video today, they used to be a movie producer with a very good eye for detail.
Her is what they told me, LM slashed the throat of JL when he is sitting on top him, one cut ear from ear. There were no other people in the room, just LM, it was not edited, just stopped at various times.
The dismemberment cuts were too sharp and not jagged, so it was not with the knife, maybe a saw.
The lighting in the room changed so it took very many hours to do this. The pubic hair disappearing was only because of the light conditions, he did not shave him.
My theory he will be diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. All the signs are there and we know LM had very many identities all over the web. And he will certainly play the part, because he is an actor, so not too hard for him to do.
No jail for him, just a nice psychiatric hospital.
I know much of what I write here has been discussed, but I guess that's why we're all here.
If he, the alleged murderer, can distinguish between right from wrong, which I believe he can, will that send him to a psych ward or jail? I can't help but think the video is all simply for shock value and attention and fame, just like his hero, Karla. And I'm banking in his mind, he is a mastermind brilliant guy that has figured out a way to get all this attention using the media/Internet, only to get a weak sentence and eventually walk away from it all like his hero and disappear, because he will then have achieved his fame status and there will no longer be a need for anymore killing or attention ploys.
There is simply too much suggested simulation in the video. The simulated sexual acts, the appearance of cannibalism, the zooming in on the poster for an effect, the fact that you never see the victim scream or struggle to escape (drugged and then dead before torture?), the slow deliberate wimpy stabbings all seem to suggest he is very aware of what he is doing; he seems to be staging everything.
In my mind, this seems different from someone who simply craves the sadism and killing and thrives on it. Maybe I give him too much sanity credit. He's clearly twisted in his thinking, but I believe he can help himself but made the choice not to stop. He is turning 30 in July, knowing his escort days and looks were no longer that of an early 20s twink, perhaps he felt compelled to make his mark now or never. Who knows, maybe drugs helped fuel his courage.
Take, for instance, the cannibalism. If, in fact, the fork has the flesh on it when the puppy is on the bed, then he did not eat it at the time in the video where he suggests he eats it. That's staging. Maybe in my mind i'm trying to assess the level of evil he is. He clearly ranks up there with evilest, but if he only suggests the cannibalism and only suggests the penetration, that makes me more inclined to believe he is not in the same category of a Bundy or a Dahmer. And if Dahmer didn't go to a psych ward, there is no way one can justify Magnotta going to one if he's determined guilty.
On the ring, does anyone think the style in which he wears the ring is also unique? It seems pushed down away from the hand and sits closer to the second knuckle on his finger from the fingertip.
