"The woman mire or less signed a death warrant ffs!"
Although of course it won`t bring Ellie back, at least we know that her retirement which probably took place in a blaze of celebration of her years of service, will now have an almighty large, dark blot cast over it which cannot be erased. This case may well be the case that forces change in legislation. All because of the super ego entitlement she awarded herself. That shame may well be her lasting legacy.
On another note, I am trying to work out what personality disorders these two have. Bearing in mind that these can and usually exist co-morbidly, I am convinced that JG fits at least Borderline PD and Histrionic PD. BB - I`m having difficulty with - definitely Antisocial PS. I`m really not so sure he is a fully blown psychopath as he does feel pain, if only for himself. Would a true psychopath break down and cry like he did? I would expect a true psychopath to smirk and smile and not care about the sentence at all. Narcissistic PD? The one thing he said that made me wonder if he fits this, is when he said that he actually goes out to instigate a fight so he can indulge in the response to his provocation.
Yet both are empty souls - take away her object to be co-dependant with, and take away from him a target to control/release his violence and your finger would go right through their empty centre.
