Like Elizabeth, I am a bit confused as to what Farrington's motive was, though . . . suffering from a personality disorder (even a severe one) is not exactly the same as being criminally and homicidally insane, is it? But at least the victims' families have closure and can move on with their lives.Yoshinori Todonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-74948061692745098412012-04-17T11:00:37.010-04:002012-04-17T11:00:37.010-04:00I'm sorry, Liz, but I can't add any more t...I'm sorry, Liz, but I can't add any more to the diagnosis. I couldn't find very much written about Farrington, or the actual trial. It appears, however, that a "severe personality disorder" (whatever that may mean) was viewed as a mitigating factor in sentencing. The obvious premeditation and planning that went into his crimes make me a little less sympathetic to his "disorder", however.David Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005457506363262838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-51456245368534195332012-04-17T08:39:50.948-04:002012-04-17T08:39:50.948-04:00David, I was with you all the way to "severe ...David, I was with you all the way to "severe personality disorder." As a mental health professional, I can't think of a diagnosis of any one of the various personality disorders that dictates uncontrollable violence or excuses a murderer from responsibility for his acts.
