It's hard to imagine that Dahmer was not aware of Nilson's crimes since they were very similar to his own MO. Although half a world away in separate prisons, he must have known of the other's crimes.

Was Jeffrey Dahmer's killings to be either a case of nature or nurtur?

Most experts believe that usually it's a little of both. Dahmer's homelife affliction was the fact that his parents fought almost continuously. While it must have been extremely unpleasant, it is unlikely to have made him into a killer and cannibal. If everyone became killers who had warring parents there would be nobody left on earth. But Dahmer's father Leo Dahmer admitted to violent fantacies as a young man. Of course the elder Dahmer didn't act on his impulses but genetics can't be denied.

Did the Jeffrey Dahmer case result in an important legal precedent?

Legal precedent is an existing legal ruling. It comes from case law, or past judicial decisions and cases. Precedent is binding, unless overturned by a higher court. I don't think no lawyer will find Dahmer's case useful establishing a legal case using a principle or rule that a court or other judicial body may utilize when deciding subsequent cases with similar issues or facts unless the lawyer is seeking Life imprisonment in a case were a death sentence is more probable.


What were mental illnesses of Jeffery Dahmer?

Most people, apon hearing about the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer, think that he must be crazy. He actually was not. Mental illness is not the same as a personality disorder, which is what Dahmer had. Simply put, it was his personality. Personality in humans developes in early childhood. It seems to be a mixture of heredity and environmental. This is true for every human. By the time little Jeffrey was ready for school his personality had already formed to a great degree. It is true that sociopaths quite often have a parent that has sociopathic tendences. Dahmer was no exception. Lionel Dahmer (Jeff's father) confessed to having violent fantacies as a young man. His mother may have had mental health issues. In conclusion, Dahmer was not mentally ill, but he most certainly was not normal. What is amazing is the fact that Jeffrey's younger brother came from the same 'gene pool' and environment and he is a completely functioning person, he leads a normal life. So how can that be? It may have to do with how internal and external events are perceived by the individuals involved. Jeff and his brother may have perceived the same situations differently. What is known about the human brain is in it's infancy even now in the 21st century.


What did they end up doing with Jeffrey Dahmer's brain?

At autopsy Dahmer's brain was photoed, x-rayed, catscanned and much more. It was then removed from the skull, sliced into sections and examined under microscope and almost every test possible was done with the tissue. Samples were taken and preserved as the rest of the brain in case further study is needed. As with most criminals like Dahmer, it was noted that there were abnormalities to the frontal lobes of the brain. Scientists don't understand the significance of this yet but it is common for violent criminals to have these abnormalities.
