Really can’t work out what he was trying to achieve by telling the doctor he was trying not to laugh at some points of the trial. And that he felt totally nothing in the days after apart from amusement that the police hadn’t arrested him.
Was he trying to p*** people off or what
I've been thinking about this as well. I think there are a few possible scenarios. The most obvious being that he is legit just a psychopath and that's the way that he feels. He enjoyed what he did, he finds it funny and he found the whole situation amusing. I think that's the case to be honest.
There's also the possibility that he's still very angry at being convicted, he wanted to get back at the family one last time and he did so by coming out with the cruellest and most inhumane statements he could think of.
Then also a remote possibility that maybe he feels if he plays up the angle of how deranged he is then people in prison might leave him alone as they won't want to go near someone so volatile and apparently insane, so he did it for his own safety. But I doubt that.
I think he's just a psychopath though.
I think you’re right. He knew he was going down for a long time , so just made the most of his time in court. He probably loved the reaction he got from genie.
