It's very interesting to me that you posted this. Last night I was watching an interview with Paul Cortez. He's the one who killed the dancer in NYC and they found his fingerprint in the girls blood on the wall and yet there are many people who are completely convinced he's innocent.
What I noticed in the interview with him, was something that I noticed in interviews with many other sociopathic personalities that I watch on these shows. That is, they had the world fooled when they were being positive and charming and talented and creative and successful. When they put on that face they do it VERY WELL.
But when they are expected to talk about darker issues, like explaining themselves in a murder investigation, they don't know how to do it. It's because they have spent years developing that charming mask, with smiles and delightful engaging conversation.
I watched another interview with Darlie Routier, and it was the same thing, she smiled and laughed and charmed her way through discussions where she was asked about her boys. Yet you would think any mention of her boys would at some point break her into tears. She couldn't fake the tears. Neither could Paul Cortez or others like them. What they come up with instead is a sense of "being lost, confused, overwhelmed, a victim" They tamp down any sense of anger, they keep it all at bay and try to talk about things that are upsetting but they can't draw on any emotions in that discussion because they have spent years hiding those real emotions away.
I don't quite know how to explain it, maybe someone else can better. But they can't talk about sad or upsetting things and show any valid emotion, they are "empty" when those conversations are happening.
But they can go on and on with smiles, laughter and delight when talking about how much they loved the person they killed. It's like they don't realize how they come across at all.
Maybe someone else can explain what I mean.
what!?
