It might be. Thing is, we're trying to use logic to figure something that has no logic to it.
Right, there doesn't seem to be any logic. But about the apparent Psychology of the case, here's a copy/paste of part of my post in the Accidents thread, because it goes along with the title of this one.

This 9-pg pdf file can be enlarged a lot for reading. Some of the things I noted from it, these parental killings are only about 2 per cent of homicides. We may have a habit of saying we know a lot of these cases when there really aren't a lot, should always be as specific as possible, names, places, and whatever we know. Studies showed that in about half of them, if I remember correctly what I reported in the Accident thread before throwing out my notes, none of the 8 subcategories of motives could be detected.
Those 8 included "altruistic", based on feelings the child would be better off, which seemed to be the majority motive, spousal revenge only a very small percent. FBI man R. Hazelwood reported that one mother baked her little daughter in a roasting pan and when her husband lifted the lid she told him, "You love her so much, here she is," the Snow White syndrome, only one case, very rare. Almost half had had some kind of psychiatric helt contacts, and/or had been hospitalized.
As my signature always says, my opinions are subject to change if I read something like this article, found in a web search.
None of us were there, and we have no evidence on Patsy, not even the fibers. Because very obviously if she had the presence of mind to not leave fingerprints or DNA, she also knew not to leave fibers. Those can so easily be planted, and so over done, way too many, as to point to that. Our credibility suffers if we're too emphatic that she was abnormally angry or whatever, I think. All of us saw the interviews, and would in her shoes have been just as irritated at the bungling cops' jumping to conclusions instead of investigating other too-complicated-for-them-or-their-boss leads.
Rupert, about the "time" cult and movie, yes, it's a suspicious coincidence that particular movie (video?) was being shown at that very time, in that very place. I encourage you to look into it. And were you around when we discussed the new Denver airport having masonic symbols in its floors, a picture gallery in the bsmt with pictures of women in coffins? Some felt that one picture looked like JonBenet. I didn't think so but maybe it was supposed to be, for all I know. Things found by googling masonry years ago may have all been removed by now, but might the "Unity" denomination which evidently doesn't teach that Christ was the only One to die for us and allegedly includes all cults, be a masonic idea? Please don't quote me because I'm just one of the least of us and never claim to definitely know, don't want to be famous. I'm not an authority. "May have" had some experience with their thinking musicians and good students are stars, overachievers, needing to be stopped, which I'm really afraid was JonBenet's and Danielle Van Dam's problem. Both of their mothers were ambitious about them, getting them language and music and dance lessons at such an early age.
Karr's not the first one to have confessed. Some prisoner confessed to both these little girls' murders, and was disbelieved. They seem mentally ill but it could also mean the real killer is still alive and getting people to confess, for his own entertainment. Killers are often cop wannabe's and interject themselves into the cases, we've all heard.
In one of the books about the Dallas assassination, I read that witnesses were threatened in order to silence them, which probahly happened with Barnhill and Melody Stanton, that they'd get labelled drunks and prostitutes and it would stick. They'd never be findicated. In the JBR case, we've heard of some hate-propagandists badmouthing the family, which I consider evidence that outsiders were involved and railroading them, accounting for the strange way they've acted. Maybe there is some logic somewhere in this case after all but we'd have to dig so deep it might be risky? Sure, Patsy was going overboard but that didn't justify what happened.
Naturally we'd feel all our friends are betraying us, and lots more resentment if all this happened to any of us. It's really too much to do to one family. If Patsy wasn't irritated she'd be awfully abnormal, and JR's so passive, it seems to me, that'd be irritating too. There was also the suspicious flimsy excuses not to find the body but to make JR do it, almost as if everyone knew what was coming down before it happened, some force that even officials just don't mess with?
Some say satanism and other undergrounds infiltrate, and there was that dictionary snapshot inserted into the evidence folder after the crime scene had been processed w/out any dictionary, which I think is also evidence, don't you? ST just reported it w/out evidently thinking much about what it meant, not investigating where it came from. Thank goodness he did at least report it. And that there were no footprints in the frost on JonBenet's covered balcony.
