If you want to get off death row , only The Innocence Project can get you off. The DA in the movie MERCY? He should have been out to death. He was promoted. But then someone killed him and they have no suspects or should I say they have a hundred million suspects. Shot thru the head in a parking garage. Not robbed or anything. Just Bang. !!

    As someone who grew up in Jersey, born in Orange during the time frame, I was fascinated by his story. Even raising my kids in the part of Jersey that is right over the bridge from Pennsylvania. Not one whisper did I hear. Not even the usual gossipy rumour. All four of my grandparents came from Germany. It seems like he and I have passed by each other many times. Including that one of my good friends also wrote code for the same company he did. If she were still alive I'd be calling her to ask if she knew him. I am relieved that he has come clean to his new country as well as to his children. Even if his German ex-wife does not wish to have anything to do with him he owes her more. Perhaps a letter delivered to her by their son. No neeed for her to respond, but the collection of a debt long over due.

      Doubtful. A psychopath possibly, but he doesn't really demonstrate any sociopathic tendencies. People need to keep in mind that this guy didn't do this for money or fame, he did it because it was his job and he thought it was right. He was trained for years to have a certain set of ethics and morals that most people don't share. He preformed a job that necessitates lying and hurting the ones you loved, which he was trained for years to be completely ok with. That type of long term education shapes the way you think and takes a long time to unlearn. That's why beng a spy sucks, because you never trust anyone since you know no one should trust you. He doesn't seem like he was acting in a way outside the norm, he just had a completely different norm.

    • @axessenter
      @axessenter 7 месяцев назад +3

      As Psychopathy and Sociopathy are both pretty much terms to describe various extreme forms and subtypes of ASPD I agree that he has antisocial tendencies, maybe. I wouldn't dare diagnose him with anything remotely like ASPD though because I don't know him and I wasn't alive back then. I think his moral outlook on a lot of things probably stems from where he grew up and the time where he grew up where he grew up though, coupled with his later training to become a spy. Back then you couldn't trust nobody, your neighbours could be spying on you, and that was a fact east germany at least had known since the NS times, first by the Gestapo and now similarily, if not as violently, by the Stasi. So I suppose looking out for yourself first and foremost, being loyal to your government and keeping your emotional distance to a certain degree was complete normalcy. Everybody for themselves and everybody for the collective. I don't think you can grow up that way and not be affected by it, even way before he began his training. Plus, as I said, first Gestapo and then Stasi, having spies around you and just the fact that there were spies, that was completely normal. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary or outlandish back then.
      And it seems as soon as he had a reason to leave his life as a spy behind he did. He probably did what he thought was beneficial for him and his country at the time, which was, mind you, portraid as a time of war. While I'd say he might have some tendencies, because of this I don't think it's really as simple as to say "oh he's a psychopath" or "He's a sociopath". I don't think that's something we can armchair diagnose him with one way or another with that specle of knowledge we have about his life.

    • @mitchellscheer677
      @mitchellscheer677 7 месяцев назад +3

      100% agree. I will say if I believe someone has psychopathic/sociopathic tendencies in certain areas (even I do to a mild degree), but it's impossible to say whether someone is/isn't a sociopath or psychopath unless you are a trained professional who is able to meet with them and properly diagnose them. Human behaviour is extremely complex even for the most trained professionals (which is why they too never armchair diagnose), so it's extremely nieve for anyone to think they could.@@axessenter
