Is Scott Peterson a sociopath

Answer 1

More than likely. He based his life on lies. He lied about who he was, what he wanted, what he did. On a daily basis, he lied to his nearest and dearest, the people that he pretended to care about the most; the people closest to him. When he wasn't happy with his life, he attempted to live the life he thought he preferred and lied about it when he could have walked away and lived how he pleased.

Answer 2

Unless you are a licensed, certified, degree holding psychologist or psychiatrist, you cannot say. Both are psychological diagnoses, and to make such a diagnoses without the proper credentials could be construed as a criminal act. Seems a bit ironic, I know.

Having heard all the news reports, observed her behavior in court, and after the verdict was read, there can be little doubt this woman has issues; however to label her is wrong.

She faced her accusers, they failed to make their case, and 12 people unanimously decided that she could not be convicted of the crimes with which she was charged.

I stressed that unanimously above to make a point. These 12 jurors did not sort of agree to acquit her, they did not mostly agree, they ALL agreed, and did so in only eleven hours (plus a few minutes and seconds). That's pretty compelling considering these twelve people sat through the entire trial, watched all the evidence be laid in front of them, and heard all the arguments.

That appears to be a substantial amount of evidence against such a conclusion.
That's the rumor. She does display certain characteristics that could apply to APD. She would need some intense one on one with a mental health professional for an accurate diagnosis.
