Why has Bamber campaigned to say he isn't a psychopath?

[ISpyWithMyEye]

They said he was examined 27 times but not a polygraph. Every prisoner is routinely assessed annually - they are talking about those assessments but making it sound as though he has had 27 psychological assessments - he hasn't.

Ah, even more manipulation from JB...

So, if JB has been assessed every year, does anyone know the results of any of these assessments-----or are these confidential to the prison service?

[mrswah]

He's playing to the gallery.

He equates psychopath with killer and therefore if he is not a psychopath he cannot be a killer.

Many people will fall for that misconception and psychopaths just love to play the victim.

Ok, I'm no psychiatrist-------so is it the case that some psychopaths murder, but not all murderers are psychopaths?

They aren't psychological assessments as such, they are kind of like risk assessments - all prisoners have them.

No all psychopaths are murderers and not all murders are psychopaths.

So all these frequent posts where he insists he’s passed 27 polygraphs are lies?

Ha! The irony...

I always thought it weird why he’d take 27 polygraphs; this explains it

He’s just a pathological liar

I haven't seen this claim about the polygraphs?

Why would it be deemed necessary to make public the results of tests, particular or routine, done on prisoners? To the authorities, Jeremy Bamber is no more special than any other murderer, ergo, there's no reason to issue any 'health updates'.

Was merely asking!

I believe he had to jump through numerous hoops and gain HO approval to undertake the lie detector test so I doubt he has undertaken 27!?

He claims to have been assessed by 27 different psycholgists:

There's no evidence JB is/was a psychopath.  It isn't something that waxes and wanes either.

He killed 5 people and has no remorse. That's enough evidence.

It isn't necessary for someone to be a psychopath to kill.

Rather than having no remorse (and he might have no remorse, I don't know), I think he sincerely believes that he is innocent. The big question is, does he have a mental illness of some sort that makes him think that, or is he really innocent?

As far as psychopathy is concerned, what I really wanted to know was, whether he had been diagnosed by a professional. As far as I can see, he hasn't.  I don't think any of us can diagnose him (unless someone on here is a psychiatrist, AND has tested him, in which case, I apologise!!).
