carefree, wealthy life that he craves (Capote, 1965, p. 194). His disregard of consequences can also be shown by looking at some of his other actions: robbing many different shops, using fake checks in order to reach his desired lifestyle, returning to Kansas after committing a mass murder, and murdering the Clutters in the first place. Along with ignoring the consequences of his actions, the reader can also see Dick’s lack of guilt over all of the crimes that he commits. While the normal person…

Perry’s physical appearance as a short, statured man; his legs and feet were small and delicate. In essence, Perry is fulfilling the female role in the relationship. Dick, however, is described with a typical, hardened male features: In the latter state, he seemed a flimsy dingy-blond youth of medium height, fleshless and perhaps sunken-chested; disrobing revealed that he was nothing of the sort, but, rather, an athlete constructed on a welterweight scale . . .

Limiting Dr. Jones’ responses to Logan Green’s (Prosecuting attorney) questions to either a yes or a no. While some of these things (limiting Dr. Jones’s responses and changing of venue) are technically at the Judge Tate’s discretions under Kansas’ state laws, I feel like under normal circumstances the defense attorney’s wishes would have been granted , the juror would not have been selected, and Dr. Jones would have been allowed to elaborate on Dick and Perry psychological health. However, I…
