Chapter 46 Section 21

In addition, Nathan is stubborn and very demanding of others. "He was always right and everyone else was wrong. According to Nathan's father, he would often argue at home over meaningless things." What struck the psychiatrist most was Nathan's statement: "My decision to kill someone is essentially as much about my enjoyment as my decision about having dessert after dinner. or satisfied." Dr. Hurley's tone was different when it came to Richard.Although the young man's IQ test score is as high as 160, the expert believes that his intelligence level can only be regarded as moderate.Dr. Hurley also noticed that Richard had facial twitches, poor verbal skills, and more.In his impression, Richard is lazy by nature, has no motivation, never wants to do a job seriously, and rarely completes a job satisfactorily.On the other hand, Richard treated people with style.For example, when he was interviewed by experts in prison, every time it was time for lunch, he always took good care of everyone to finish ordering, and then ordered his own.

Dr. Hurley and another expert from the defense, Bernard Gluck, pointed out that Nathan and Richard often behaved differently from ordinary people. Although it cannot be generally said that they have neurological problems, it is precisely These abnormal ways of thinking and actions led to the occurrence of this case. As evidence of this point of view, the defendant subpoenaed several classmates and friends of Nathan and Richard.The young men on the witness stand spoke of Richard's childishness and neuroticism, of his unrestrained smoking and drinking, of his warnings for drinking at school, of his obsession with all detective crime books. , about how he passed out from drinking too much during a New Year's Eve party, woke up and beat someone up.Richard's girlfriend, Luo Lanlin Nashan, said that Richard drove very savagely, never giving way to pedestrians, and he had several car accidents.Shortly before Bobby Fanks' murder, Richard crashed his father's limo.Lorraine said that once when Richard went to her house, some friends of her parents happened to be there. Richard was like a child going "crazy", dancing alone in the middle of the room, pressing his fingers Go over every piece of chocolate on the plate, and try on each of the hats that the guests have hung in the hall.On other occasions, Richard would start stealing things as soon as he arrived at Lorraine's house, and put them back one by one before leaving, excited that his actions had been hidden from everyone.

It was among these witnesses that the reporters discovered that on the ransom demand letter received by Jacob Fanks, the GKR in the lower left corner turned out to be Richard’s other girlfriend, Jaime K. Ehrhardt English abbreviation.In general official correspondence, this should be the signature of the secretary writing or typing.The police confirmed in subsequent investigations that Jiemei had nothing to do with the case. One of Nathan's professors mentioned that this bright student is very fond of digging into the horns, and often asks some weird and far-fetched questions.His classmates testified that Nathan pursued pragmatism in his interactions with friends, and he was a good friend if he was useful, and kicked him out if he was useless.Only Richard can get along with him for a long time, because Nathan's attitude towards Richard is more like a "lover".Experts who appeared in court confirmed that homosexual behavior had indeed occurred between Nathan and Richard.

The defendant also invited a local expert.Dr. Howald Huber, who is licensed to practice medicine in the western suburbs of Chicago, pointed out that the reason why the two criminals acted recklessly and committed such heinous crimes was because they thought they were talented and intelligent, and the police could not catch them. Claren Darrow's last two witnesses were Albert Lowe's secretary, Catherine Fitzrad, and Nathan's brother, Mike Leop. Catherine said her boss had given her the authority to write him a check for up to $250 whenever Richard needed money, without Albert's approval.During the cross-examination, Prosecutor Koro asked: "Is this one of the reasons why he was spoiled?" Catherine hesitated, saying that in her capacity, it was inconvenient to comment on the matter.Kraren stood up from the dock and said, "We admit this."

Mike Leop testified that Nathan's monthly pocket money was $125.In addition, if there are other needs, the family can give him more money at any time.In fact, Mr. Riope had just given Nathan $3,000 to take a European vacation this summer. What Dr. Claren Darrow wants to prove here is that, given the financial situation of the two defendants, it is impossible for them to kill for money, as the prosecution alleges. After the defense hearing, the prosecution requested a new deposition to take advantage of the opportunity and the judge's new Aug. 1 decision to call their own expert witnesses.The three neurologists and psychologists employed by the prosecution agreed that, on the whole, Nathan and Richard were of sound mind and normal mind.Dr. Hugh Pike pointed out: "Unless we believe that all the murderers who planned and planned carefully before committing the crimes were all mentally ill, it would be difficult to prove that the two defendants did have any neurological diseases."

Dr Archibald Church told the court that, based on his observations and diagnoses, Richard "knowed very well what he was doing" when he committed the crime. "He knew who he was, where he was, the date, the time, everything. In our conversations, his memory, comprehension and logical reasoning were first class. I couldn't see What's wrong with his nerves."The same was true for Nathan, Dr. Church added. The common conclusion of several public prosecution experts is that Nathan Leop and Richard Lowe lived in an extremely superior environment since they were young. Their wealthy families provided them with fine clothes and good food. Good cars, especially, where their academic excellence makes them feel superior to others.They despise the people, things and things around them, and then develop a contempt for all rules and regulations and laws.In their view, their uniqueness also includes that they are free from any rules and regulations and laws, or that their extraordinary ingenuity can enable them to evade legal sanctions.And this is the root cause of their crimes.
