I think PG, NG and Patricia are all mentally ill, but I DO NOT believe any of them are incapable of standing trial for their crimes.
I've been thinking about PG's contact with Walt Gray and his statement that he wasn't watching TV or reading the newspapers. What does he think is happening with all the sex offenders since his revelation became public? Does he think they are being healed by the thousands while he's in jail because of this "gift" he shared with the world?
He still seems to be manic about his beliefs and how the world is going to respond. It seems to imply that he continues to believe that the public is going to be amazed when his story is revealed.
Does he believe thousands are going to come forward in his defense and to speak of his knowledge based on his invention and his manifesto? I read his manifesto and didn't see anything detailed about the method of curing others like him, so does he plan on revealing it during the trial? That would mean that Jaycee and Nancy know (in his mind) how to do it or that he would have to take the stand.
I hope I'm making sense and not just rambling here.
What happens to a person this delusional when they find out the truth? So, when PG realizes that "thousands and thousands" of people ARE NOT responding the way hes known" they will what will his reaction to that be? Will he fall apart or think people aren't really understanding or ??? How do delusional people react to this?
These were my first thoughts after PG's 11/11 letter...
I think it's possible that PG's delusions of grandeur are a result of him possibly receiving "fan" mail in jail but not any hate mail. I'm not sure, but I don't think those that monitor an inmates mail allow hate mail in. I also don't think they would allow correspondence with co-defendants/accomplices, it would at least be monitored and turned over to the proper authorities or discarded if it contained anything relating to the case. They wouldn't, however, disallow love letters, normal correspondence, letters of admiration, etc. The jail is probably receiving all kinds of mail on PG's behalf. I don't think they can deprive an inmate completely of the postal service, they can only monitor it.
It's possible, that other people "afflicted" with the same "problem" as PG are reaching out to him and inquiring about his "cure-all". (I hope not, but there ARE some crazy folks out there!)If this is the case, PG would only be getting positive feedback, thus thinking his mission to cure the incurable is in full force. Sometimes, weirdos become "fans" of people like PG. Charles Manson, Susan Smith and others like them receive "fan" mail. Even Ted Bundy had fans, he married one of them. PG, himself, met/dated/married Nancy while incarcerated.
He is completely delusional. When he realizes this, he will likely become more delusional. Regardless, he is perfectly capable to stand trial. So is Nancy. PF, too, but it's looking like that's not likely to happen.
