    I’m not a doctor but he certainly seems neurodivergent based on his writing. It’s hard to imagine him ever changing in some significant way and being “rehabilitated” enough to be allowed back into society, hence the “some evidence”. It’s might be best he remains in jail rather than be paroled.

      Yeah - I mean - I don’t want to get into the business of analyzing somebody’s metal state but he definitely seems to have issues with fixation. But I also don’t want to cross the line into saying that he’s necessarily dangerous because of that. He’s dangerous for other reasons though. I agree with your “some evidence” line in that he does seem to be focusing on the part of his personality that does seem to be the most dangerous - inability to manage conflict. Prison does provide for that conflict - but it also provides many rules and structures that he wouldn’t have on the outside. Dunno. I have a difficult time saying that anybody who has murdered their wife should ever see freedom again at all - “reformed” or not.
