I can honestly say, after following this case, in all it’s aspects and through all it’s twists and turns, that when I heard “Guilty on all counts” I was stunned. Why had I thought she would be acquitted? Stunned here….
Addendum: Thanks to Miss R for all her excellent and most profound insights.
Miss Represented, thanks for the brave analysis, work and writing you’ve done.

Miss R, thanks for the precise and well-researched comments on the case. I learnt a lot from your analysis, in particular the psychology of the pact, behaviour and your astonishing sense for describing the forensic findings – and above all, the aggressive and manipulative policy of the Seattle PR machine. This is my first time contributing to a blog. Sorry, if this gets too long. As a European living in Switzerland, I heard for the first time about the case in November, while following the BBC world news. While abroad on a research stay, I saw AK strange behaviour when the trial opened this spring. The broad smile, the bathing in the international attention covered by media, the carelessness – all this felt strange, if not immensely distrubing to me. I then started to follow the trial, as my hobby is criminal psychology. I read most of John Douglas and, after having carefully read professor Robert D. Hare’s book about Psychopathology – I wonder what Miss R thinks: Is AK a fully blown psychopath or close to one?
Thanks for a reply
