This week in class we read about psychopaths, I have been reading articles about a horrible tragedy that happened last summer with Leiby Kletzky. A year after this horrible tragedy, Levi Aron pleads guilty this week for murdering Leiby Kletzky. Last summer, Leiby lost his way when going back home, so he asked a stranger, who ended up being Levi Aron, for directions. Levi told the boy he will take him to where he needs to go to, but instead he took him to some wedding and then back to his place. The parents later on started to get worried. They did not know where their child was, so they have formed a search team with the neighborhood and police as well. When Levi saw the posters about the missing child he started to panic and began to smother the boy with a towel and then cut his body for easier disposal. There was evidence by the medical examiner that the boy was drugged before as well. With the lead that the police got, it lead them straight to Levi Aron’s apartment, over there they found some of Leiby’s remains in the freezer, suitcase and in trash bins about two and a half miles away from his place. In my previous law class, I remember reviewing this case and our professor showed the confession that he wrote, writing out step by step what he exactly did at the time of the crime. In this confession it showed that he was clearly a psychopath and he needed a lot of help. The way he wrote and spoke showed all the basic signs of a psychopath. Also, in this article it mentioned that the court ordered a psychological exam and they found that he does have a psychological disorder but he was competent to stand trial.
