What was the disorder of John Wayne Gacy?

Answer 1

I think the disorder that John Wayne Gacy manifested was "Paraphillia" specified to Pedophilia. Evidently, he murdered some young/teen boys. Due to the fact that he was punished by his father during his early life, his unconscious started to boost by having sexual affairs and killed them. He didn't not overcome what was his father done with him and he never received any "sorry" for his father. This is a predisposing factor. He was suffered because of his childhood experiences (corporal punishments, rejections, molestation, etc).

Answer 2

In an effort to prove Gacy's insanity, his lawyer called to the stand the friends and family of the accused killer. It was told of how his father abused Gacy on several occasions, at one time whipping him with a leather strap and Gacy's sister told a similar story of how she repeatedly witnessed her brother being verbally abused by their father. Others who testified for the defense told of how Gacy was a good and generous man, who helped those in need and always had a smile on his face. It was also said how wonderful a neighbor he was. However someone said something that would prove damaging to Gacy's case. Someone called him a "very brilliant man" and never said he was "crazy". That statement would conflict with the defense's story that he was unable to control his actions and that he was insane.
