I have a problem accepting insantity for LaBarre. Yes, I believe she is nuts. Yes, I believe she is delusional. But legally insane I have a problem with.
So if she thinks she is sent by God to kill pedos- why in the police interview does she deny killing Countie? If she really thought God sent her to kill them, she would have been looking to police for praise for her actions. After all, she had accomplished her "mission."
If insane, would she be responsive to Countie and his emotions? My impression of those who are insane, is they are not responsive to others emotions.
Malcom Rogers, a psychiatrist testifying on LaBarre's behalf, said she suffered from paranoid delusions that most men were involved with pedophilia or incest or were homosexuals. According to Rogers, LaBarre believed she was an avenging angel sent by God to kill pedophiles and saw herself as a protector of children, and said she probably thought she was doing the right thing by killing Countie and Deloge.

In the recordings, LaBarre's alternating emotion and rage are evident as she hollers at Countie at times and appears to console him while he cries at other times.
