[justsaying]

and you would have experience of this Stephanie?

Yes - self-qualified it seems. No need for university, just read a few websites and you are good to go!

Psychiatrists diagnose psychopathy, not doctors!

Psychiatrists are Doctors  And you are neither!

[Nicholas]

so much I could say to this post... there really is but where would i start?

No description of them being dead either! They were pet rats "put up or shut up"!

[mrswah]

Where is your evidence of this?

Yes, I was about to ask the same question! Wasn't it said that Luke did this as a result of trauma arising from Jodi's murder?

Think we are bypassing the evidence today mrswah and just assuming and making it up. Not that miscarriage of justice happens that way. perish the thought

He was never diagnosed with PTSD but he was never tested for it either, it is a real possibility that it was a result of trauma given the fact there was no evidence to suggest he did this prior to her death.

it Wouldnt have changed anything for Luke because no one cared what they did to him or how he reacted.

Psychiatrists ARE doctors!  Psychologists are not.

No I am sure even if it were diagnosed that some people will have still went with the more sinister view - always a no-win situation, even when there is evidence/facts to suggest otherwise.

I don't mean to be rude Mrswah, but both are said to be Doctors.

It won't be the first time the police and prosecution have introduced "imaginary" theories like this in murder investigations/trials.

I don't believe [Name removed]'s murder had anything to do with Manson or the black dahlia.

[jixy]

something we both agree on. He had no attachment at all to Manson

You are not rude----at least, not in this instance!

I have a psychology degree, and, had I wanted to be a psychologist, I would have needed to do a couple of years postgraduate training (I didn't ------too old by then, couldn't afford it, etc).  But, I would not have been a doctor.  Psychiatrists are medical doctors, who have then specialised in psychiatry. They can prescribe drugs, but psychologists cant.  I suppose a psychologist could be an academic doctor, if he or she had a PhD, but that isn't the same as a medical doctor.

Anyone who holds a doctorate can be called a Doctor, including psychologists.
