Does anyone have a psychiatric theory about Casey's mental state, the first time she was arrested wearing the blue hoody? It was her first perp walk through the Police station, grinning and swinging her hips without a care in the world.
I remember thinking she was acting very strangely back then but I didn't have any baseline Casey to compare it to. Now I've had a gut full of the gal and still go back to that moment in awe.
She waltzed through the station with pride, back erect, like she was auditioning for a movie role. In light of what we know now....I really see her as completely insane in that clip.
Not to say she was criminally insane because she isn't and wasn't period! Criminally insane people don't need to cover their tracks and hide the way KC did. Or lie.
I need more than 'sociopath' I guess, to explain such deviant and twisted behavior. MDmom?
Drew Peterson did the perp walk exactly the same way that KC did. Confident, proud, upbeat.
She's not any kind of psychotic. There has been no break with reality. She has always known who and where she is, and what she's doing. She knows she's lying, when she lies.
We've had nearly unending number of psych threads, most of them trying to find something exotic to explain KC's behavior. We always come back to the same place.
Ryan, who has known KC since they were five, said she's never been trustworthy, and she's always been manipulative.
KC is no different than Scott Peterson or Diane Downs. Or than any other mother who kills her kid. And, that's quite a few mothers. Or, any wife who kills her husband, and that's quite a few wives. Or, kids who kill their parents. Or, people who kill for an inheritance or financial benefit of some sort.
She's not different, just because she's young, female and cute. And, she's not a victim of any sort.
My guess is that the prison shrinks dxed her with at least two Axis II disorders, and no Axis I (psychotic) disorder. I'm guessing the dx is sociopathic personality disorder (antisocial personality disorder) plus borderline personality disorder and/or narcissistic personality disorder.
KC is no crazier than Scott Peterson. Or, for that matter, Drew Peterson. Or, Diane Downs.
