If this is what he considered "heartwarming", IMO his heart needs to stop beating.
I read it as he finally decided he loves his wife and what he did before was wrong. No ****, Sherlock. There is NO MENTION of what he did, and I take it that we are all supposed to be happy for HIM because HE is better now.
What a megalomaniac. Needle time.
ITA !! I also read it as you described - he "found" a way to "overcome" his "problem" (sexual violence - among other things). Once he "found" this - he thinks its all over. His religious zealot attitude then "kicked in" and he now "believes" that all is forgiven. Interesting how he talks about "teaching this in the US prisons...."
Everybody keeps saying how Jaycee spoke up and gave it all up. But I've read that HE confessed - he stated Jaycee was who she was AND that he had kidnapped her 18 years ago AND that the 2 girls were his.
He told that one neighbor that she "would be seeing him soon on the news" or words to that effect.
He dropped this "Manifesto" off to the FBI.
This document is actually going to work against him as all the affidavits (notarized too) state that HE is of SOUND MIND!!! No insanity defense here - nope.
He has a history of LSD (taking multiple "hits" at a time) and head injury too.
Maybe what's going to come out of this (or his "mental" progession) will be a "Sybil" type personality NOW - not saying he has always been like that.
Its been reported that LE has evidence that HE lived in a "shed" on the next door neighbors property. WHY? Lived? Really? I can see "using" a shed for his evil, subhuman "activities" but LIVING THERE? How truly "sick" was or is this man?
IT DOES NOT MATTER!!!! What he did (and his "wife") is the most heinous act one human can inflict on another!!!!!!! The length of time he continued that "act" displays his knowledge of "right versus wrong". Over and done. We put down dogs that attack, and/or kill - and we do this within a matter of days. I truly do not see the difference here!
