Psychopath – A person who lacks emotional intelligence, expert in manipulating others by playing on their emotions; they need relationships but see people in terms of how they can be used. They feel little or no regret, and little or no remorse – except when they are caught, but the remorse stems from being caught and not for the crimes committed. A psychopath can have high verbal intelligence but lacking in emotional intelligence, which is usually narcissistic.

When I listen to Casey Anthony, she is the personification of a psychopathic personality. She is self-absorbed, selfish and egotistical. She is a liar who is displaying a total failure to accept responsibility for her own actions. Just watching her, I have no doubt in my mind that she is guilty. Her lack of concern for the fact that her daughter is dead is surreal, bizarre even.

Some studies show that there may be a genetic influence that creates a psychopathic personality. The behavior of Casey’s mother is one of an enabler. Adult psychopaths do not benefit from traditional counseling therapy and may in fact offend again. The brain of a psychopath may function and process information differently from those of non-psychopaths, however highly intelligent psychopaths can run companies. Functioning psychopathic personalities are much more common than most of us realize.

Other traits of a psychopath include, a callous/lack of empathy, poor behavioral controls, impulsivity, promiscuous sexual behavior, parasitic lifestyle, shallow emotional responses, all of these traits have been displayed by Casey Anthony. There are usually early behavioral problems that, I can believe, where justified in other ways by her mother, which kept the behavior going until the tragic murder of her daughter Caylee and even now the mother is taking part in the attempted cover-up. This, to me, signals the genetic link; and now Casey’s father was found after going missing, in a hotel room after telling family members he wanted to go join Caylee. Was he in any way instrumental in the development of a psychopath?

Casey’s behavior from the beginning has been suspect, dating, getting tattooed, lying attempts at manipulation, showing no real emotion about the disappearance of her daughter, or eventually the discovery of the baby’s body. It’s all about her, Casey, and she gets upset that no one understands the situation she is in, that she is being punished and she simply does not understand why.

She is a scary but informative display of a psychopathic personality in action. While I am very interested to see how this case turns out, based on the theory that most adult psychopaths do not benefit from therapy, she needs to do life with no possibility of parole, if after all the evidence is reviewed she is found guilty. And I say that in that manner because, the law states you are innocent until proven guilty. In my mind she is guilty just because of her actions since Caylee went “missing”.

And that’s the way I see it!!!
