And while there is any doubt at all, he most certainly should not be killed. Plenty of "criminals" have admitted crimes for which later it was found that they were innocent and they falsely admitted the crimes for psychological reasons. I have talked at length in Vernon's case about bad legal manipulation affecting Vernon for psychological reasons about which the Courts obviously now concur as his execution has been stayed.<BR/>Choices? I have talked at length too about psychological factors that affect the way people behave. I am in clinical practice and you are not I believe. If you are interested in learning more on the topic of psychological factors and individual behaviour I suggest you read a balance of medical text and studies on the subject. I won't suggest titles or you will no doubt accuse me of bias so I will leave you to decide if you want to learn more and read a selection of studies. I will say this. Perception changes with group psychotherapy. If you change perception you increase the choices victims have. People who once were at risk of suicide, for example, after therapy are no longer at risk. To kill is to kill,whether it is to kill self or others I told you that. Ooops I'm getting into "psychobabble" and you do not like that do you.johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07732685907482691660noreply@blogger.com
