The Salinas Sheet Shocking Double Murder!! Yesterday afternoon, Natalie Trucent was found dead with a broken neck in Trucent’s Ranch. • Later on, primary suspect of the murder, Lennie Small, was found dead, from a bullet shot to his head, in the brush near the Salinas River. • Head police officer, Max Krocher, refused to answer questions. At 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, when Candy Viuexchamp walked into the barn, he never imagined he would find a girl there and certainly not a dead one.
Prosecutors said Miss Kercher, who had been repeatedly stabbed, died in a sex game that went wrong. She was 21. Both Ms Knox and Mr Sollecito maintain their innocence. Mr Sollecito is expected to attend some of the hearings, reports in local media say. Ms Knox insists that on the night of Miss Kercher's death she was at Mr Sollecito's flat, smoking marijuana and watching a film.
Running head: THE PSYCHOPATHY CHECKLIST-REVISED The Psychopathy Checklist-Revised Cindi Osowski Walden University Abstract Scientists and clinicians understanding of psychopathy remains questionable due to the fact that antisocial personality disorder has very similar criteria as those first postulated by Cleckley in 1941. Since psychopathy, however, has not been identified by the DSM-IV as a psychiatric disorder, its assessment requires a separate tool. The Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) was originally designed by Dr. Robert Hare in 1980 and again in 1991. The test contains 20 items used to rate symptoms that are considered psychopathic in forensic populations like prisons. With much of the past research focusing on those with criminal records, new research has come to examine and include psychopathic personality traits of persons in non forensic settings.
In each instance, the Court has emphatically rejected the notion that such an exception exists. There appears to be a misconception among law enforcement officers regarding the viability of
Her third book, Of Two Minds is the most widely acclaimed and was published in 2000.

The body of the victim was found with pills in hand and on the table in front of her, a laptop open with an apparent suicide note on screen. The victim’s home was in disarray when she was found which tends to be a sign of a struggle. With that being said, there were no markings on the victim’s body that leads me to believe that there was a struggle. Although the victim’s sister claims she was a neat freak, which doesn’t rule out the thought of a struggle. The neighbor claims that he saw the victim’s boyfriend speeding out of her driveway two days prior to her body being discovered.

Bystander effect is a social psychological phenomenon in which individuals are less likely to offer help during an emergency situation when there are other individuals present. As means to get an understanding of why individuals do less when they are in the presence of others, social psychologists John Darley, then at NYU and Bibb Latané at Columbia university conducted a study titled “Bystander Intervention in Emergencies: Diffusing Responsibility”. The original study done by Darley and Latané was sparked by the Kitty Genovese incident in which Genovese was stabbed to death over a period of thirty minutes and none of the thirty-eight witnesses present called for help. The purpose of the study was to figure out why there is less action taken during an emergency when there are more people present. One would think that more people present would be equivalent to more 911 calls or acts of intervention and aid but that is not the case.
Kitty Genovese – The ‘Bystander Affect’/Genovese Syndrome Case Study and Summary Case Study; Catherine Susan Genovese (July 7, 1935 – March 13, 1964), commonly known as Kitty Genovese, was a New York City woman who was stabbed to death near her home in the Kew Gardens section of Queens, New York on March 13, 1964. The circumstances of her murder and the lack of reaction of numerous neighbours were reported by a newspaper article published two weeks later; the common portrayal of neighbours being fully aware but completely nonresponsive has later been criticized as inaccurate. Nonetheless, it prompted investigation into the social psychological phenomenon that has become known as the bystander effect (or "Genovese syndrome") and especially diffusion of responsibility. Genovese had driven home from her job working as a bar manager early in the morning of March 13, 1964. Arriving home at about 3:15 a.m. she parked in the Long Island Rail Road parking lot about 100 feet (30 m) from her apartment's door, located in an alley way at the rear of the building.
“In 1915, Sigmund Freud first study repression which is the process of pulling thoughts into the unconscious and preventing painful or dangerous thoughts from entering consciousness; seemingly unexplainable naivety, memory lapse or lack of awareness of one’s own situation and condition.”(Furnham, 2012, p.145) On the other word, it is the defense mechanism to protect us. “In 1920, Karl Marx had studied about the repression and said the process of repression which sets in during the fourth year of life or thereabouts is, in wit, temporarily suspended.”(Furnham, 2012, p.147) Nevertheless, there are two phases that lead a person to repression, primary repression and secondary repression. “Primary repression is the process of determining what is self,
