Dear Judge Cornea, I am Dr.Thompson the psychiatrist. I was hired to examine James the killer of the old man. At first he did not seem crazy at all. As I was talking to him he said the eye was driving him crazy and that his breathing was making him mad. As he was talking I was sure he was crazy hearing the old man’s heart beating when he was dead. I strongly believe he was a little crazy. Cause as he was talking about him he grew madder and madder. Sincerely, Dr. Thompson
Well, a defense is entitled to request an evidentiary hearing at the time of sentencing, but you do have to give notice of that if you wanted to present testimony at the time of the sentencing.
On March 24, 2014, Andre Thomas, a man who had a history of psychological illness since the age of ten and who had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and auditory hallucinations, went to his estranged wife Laura’s apartment he stabbed her, his 4 year old son Andre J.R, and his estranged wife’s 18 month old daughter, Leyla, to death. Thomas used a different knives to kill each one of his family members in order not to cross-contaminate their blood, in his disturbed mind this would release the demons. He then cut out what he thought were Laura and the children hearts. Thomas then tried to stab himself in the heart, hoping to die as well. Thomas then put the hearts in his coat pockets and
Hello i'm a psychiatric for the suspect that killed the old man because of his evil eye. I first met him after he did the murder and he felt sorry and guilty. Therefore he was sentenced to life in prison for a first degree murder. Im here to help him so he wouldn't get into other trouble. I came to talk to him and he said he was sorry for what he did and how he wished to turn things back to normal.
I have not seen this movie, so my perspective is based on the discussion post and information that you provided. Answering to your initial question and gathering information from your post, the main character presents with schizophrenia and related symptoms. With that in mind, aside from having a stressful and misunderstood life, knowing that your mind is full of delusions and hallucinations, puts great pressure on one person to try to quiet those imagery voices. Therefore, assessing for suicidal cues and placing the patient on observation are great decisions. I think another outcome that should be integrated in the plan of care for this patient is to restore ADLs and maintaining them.
When it comes to the mind of the of the narrator, we see through his telling of the story as being a part of his past, his attempt at making us believe he was sane. In my mind, it was more of an attempt for him to make himself believe he was completely sane.
ImageHave you read the story ‘’The Tell-Tale Heart’’? The story is basically about an old man with an eye, which is disturbing the narrator. So the narrator goes insane. The narrator of the story has an impulsive nature which makes him appear insane. He is absolutely not guilty by reason of insanity and should be sent to a mental hospital for special needs.
" I had no feeling for him, even a little bit, that was just like a bad button on the keyboard, need to be removed. And as the doctor said he did not commit the crime, but had to die, then that is just another circumstance when he was too weak, had no power or smart enough to defend himself, and that's life, he died because a thing he did not do. That was not his fault but his fault was could not defend himself. That is why I did not expose any emotion while watching the scene.
First the clues, the clues were his letter he would write this letter admitting that he killed the people that were killed and tease the police for not knowing what they said for these letters were not like any normal letter they were written in a code that no one could find out, but one day a normal teacher and his wife cracked the code when they cracked the code on one of the letters and that code said a message It states in one of the cites “Several days later, high school teacher Donald Harden and his wife, Bettye, were able to solve the cipher. "I like killing people because it is so much fun," it read. "It is more fun than killing wild game in the forest because man is the most dangerous animal of all." This is what the code said this is why he likes killing people because he says it is fun. I guess we could cross the why part of the reason he did kill people… for fun. Another example of why he would kill people is because according to a cite it said he killed people because he was collecting souls for the afterlife kind of like a salve. This shows that it may be a religious reason no one really knows maybe it was both. Or maybe this was part of his plan,or did he say both to throw the police off who knows what goes on in a psychopath's
A traumatic past probably tainted his vision for a positive future. You cannot kill a man for something that is not entirely his fault. He has suffered trauma from being beaten black and blue by his own father and suffered neglect from being the fifth child out of nine.
In 2005 the patient was admitted to a Psychiatric Hospital, under the care of a Psychoanalyst after pleading insanity to avoid life in prison for the homicide of two persons. Psychoanalyst tactics were not successful in the attempts of stabilizing and rehabilitating the patient. Throughout the six years that the patient
This brings up one of the themes of the story, we are afraid of what we don’t understand. The Protagonist was afraid of the old mans eye, he describes it as blue with a film over it. This indicates that the old man was blind in that one eye. It is natural for us humans to be afraid of what we don’t understand, it is so then understandable that the protagonist was afraid of the eye. If the protagonist took time to understand the reason why the was the that it was, he might have not killed the old man in the at all. We can learn from this and realize that we are not all made the same and some people my have abnormalities that others are creeped out by. If we take time to learn about one another and not jump to conclusions then the world would be a better place.
This supports the fact that he is a psychopath, because although he likes the old man he suffocates the man with his own mattress, and kills him with very little remorse or guilt.
My name is Giau Pham and I am a recent graduate of the University of Arkansas Fort Smith. I have taken the OAT and taken all the prerequisites for the optometry program. I am interested in applying this June 29 but don't know where I stand with my qualifications and would like to visit the campus to see if it is worth applying this cycle. I look forward from hearing from you all and possibly coming to campus.
He said, “There was nothing to wash out-no stain of any kind-no blood-spot whatever. I had been to wary for that. A tub had caught all- Ha! Ha!” The quote means that he chopped up all the body parts in the tub to get rid of any trace. This matters because he knew if he washed down all the blood and got rid of any trace of the man, that he could get away with it. With no blood anywhere, no trace of the old man’s remains, he could have gotten away with it. These actions prove that he thought about what to do with hiding the body prior to the murder. How can you be fully aware of your actions, yet say you’re insane? He’s a cold-blooded
The narrator butchered the man. That is an indisputable fact. The question is, is he sane? The narrator stalked an innocent man for 8 nights, then brutally murdered and grotesquely dismembered him. He then proceeds to put the body parts under the floor boards. The narrator talks about his surprisingly logical thought process, the careful and perfect execution of his plan, and his terrible guilt as he could hear the dead man’s heart beat. The defense will tell you that this man is an innocent, sedentary man, and that everything he did was the fault of his mental illness, but do not listen to them. This man is deleterious, and it is imperative that he is locked away. The narrator of “The Tell-Tale Heart” was sane because he could distinguish fantasy from reality, he could feel guilt, and he was thinking logically. This evidence will prove that the narrator is sane.
