Well, I wasn't exactly shocked by the info r.e. schizophrenia. I think we all expected he had some kind of mental illness. I think it explains SOME of his behaviour i.e. showing up to that lawyer and claiming he was being abused, etc. However, I don't think it explains the actual deviant behaviour at all. I also don't think that it will affect a jury's decision about whether he was in control of his own behaviour or not. JMO
Quoted from ChelleBelle:
#3. Again, devil's advocate here - perhaps another set of psychiatrists will come along and testify that LM has no knowledge of good vs. evil.
Good points, but the fact he tried to dispose of the body then fled the country won't bode well for him. If he didn't understand what he did was wrong, why would he run away?
Why would he fake it though? To get away with hurting and killing animals? To get famous for killing Lin Jun? I don't think getting meds would be a factor either. I'm trying to remember something about him going to the hospital and him being held there. I think it was something he wrote about in one of his blogs and I can't remember under which name he was posting as. I think a family member was involved in his hospitalization, his mother? Did she abandon him at the hospital or something? Maybe I'm remembering another case LOL.
It's the NCR result of the Kachkar case in Toronto which has me leary about LM's case.
Kachkar deliberately stole the snow plow and went on to kill a police officer. He must have known what he was doing when he stole the snow plow! And yet - NCR!!

You remember correctly, I also had to think about this post immediately. He made the original post on wordpress (username: lotusbomb) but it got deleted by now. However, I found a blog in which LM's post has been copied and pasted:

The homicide rates among Schizophrenics are often broken down to whether or not it was a first break, and if there was concurrent drug or alcohol abuse as those factors skews the data substantially.
Yes, he did it deliberately but he did it with bare feet in the winter time! He was really out of it at the time and it was done spontaneously, IMO. I don't see this as the same with LM. There was real planning in what he did. JMO

I wonder what Baudi Moovan would think about him faking it? She was after him for a long time and has a better sense of things, I would think. If anything, I wonder if he was misdiagnosed. To me, he is sociopathic. JMO
We don't know that he hasn't. I would be very, very surprised if he didn't have NPD, whether it's been diagnosed or not.I'm really surprised that Magnotta wasn't diagnosed with narcissistic (or antisocial) personality disorder at any point.
I'm with you matou, he's the worst kind of sociopath.
As far as why Magnotta would fake schizophrenia now, it's simple: he believes he can go the mental hospital route and thinks that after time passes he'll emerge from there and upon his release he'll be in every paper and on every channel.
Will this happen? No chance.
However remember with Magnotta every character serves a specific purpose and everything is carefully orchestrated to advance one thing and one thing only: Lukas Rocco Magnotta.
I can't believe he's schizophrenic simply because his online and past real world life is all about being a master of control and manipulation. Magnotta was skilled at managing and controlling each character and was quite organized in this effort with all of his characters working to achieve the outcome that Magnotta desired.
He's well organized and a master manipulator. Is he a sociopath? He seems to fit the characteristics. Is he schizophrenic or just utilizing his organization skills to utilize his characters to convincingly pass for one? I suspect the latter, but I am absolutely sure that whatever Magnotta is doing it is only to benefit himself.
matou as one of the original post-murder Magnotta sleuths, like myself, do you find Magnotta potentially capable of faking schizophrenia?
I ask this not to trivialize those who have been diagnosed with it and work hard to manage their condition, but I ask this with knowledge of Magnotta's online world......
