@JMoncktonSmith We see so many murders staged as suicides that I worry that a focus on domestic violence-related suicides will hurt victims. It seems to me than any culpability for a domestic violence-related suicide should focus on the behavior of the perpetrator rather than the victim.

Mark Twitchell thought he was Dexter. Brian Draper thought he was Ghostface. Luka Magnotta thought he was Patrick Bateman. They were all wrong. Here's why every copycat killer fails at fiction as badly as they fail at life. https://t.co/vhY9CfbViX

Recent defendants who pleaded Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity range from a woman who taped a man to a chair and tortured him for three days to a stepmother accused of starving her stepdaughter. No wonder jurors are skeptical. https://t.co/krOmUD1tQF
