An interesting and well-made podcast, but one major flaw in this entire production is the focus on “OCPD”. The way the ‘doctor’ describes the symptoms for OCPD do not correspond with the symptoms according to the dsm-5. His knowledge is unreliable and because of that the information given is misleading. Furthermore, clearly this murderer was a psychopath, and that should have been the main focus of the podcast — not ‘OCPD’. He’s wasn’t a “monster” nor was he “the devil” (this is a way for us to separate ourselves from people who commit illegal or immoral acts), but his ACTIONS were horrendous. He deserves NO sympathy for what he did, as his actions were clearly for HIS own good. The “religion” defense is a complete hoax, he used this as a way to justify his actions and what he cried about during the interrogation was the fact that he had been caught. Check the psychopathy checklist for a non-scientific estimate, he’d score high on it.
