We're seeing that the brain's not working right, and we're seeing physically what is the matter with the brain.
Steven didn't have the function in the brain that a healthy brain would have. Mr. Stanko's brain showed decreased function in the medial orbital frontal lobes of his brain.
Areas of red on these images are indicative of high levels of brain function. But we can see, particularly right here, that Mr. Stanko, in this area of the brain, he's very cold or cool or less functional as compared to a normal brain. So why is that significant? Well, it's very significant because it is this area of the brain that essentially makes us human.
People with damage to that area of the brain become antisocial. They're more likely to be impulsive. They're more likely to be aggressive and violent. What was your reaction when you saw the PET scan images of your brain?
His left frontal lobe was in the smallest two or three percent of the population. There's this decrease in the base of the right frontal lobe here.
I've come to the conclusion that he was insane at the time.
No. Mr. Stanko nor the other psychopaths that we know of have not made a conscious decision to be psychopathic. They have a brain abnormality that has been forced upon them by bad luck or God or genes or what have you. How did Stephen Stanko suffer this brain defect? Stephen Stanko's medical records were crystal clear.
There was no question that he was born with some form of neurological dysfunction.
I suspect that at that time the damage was done and his brain, though he appeared to develop normally, this particular area of the brain did not.
I don't buy it. Upon getting these images of his brain, my diagnosis is that Mr. Stanko is a psychopath and I'm 100% certain of that and I believe we've proved it.
Neurological okay.
Yes.
That's great.
My opinion is that he has a personality disorder with narcissistic and antisocial features. He has the grandiose sense of self-importance. He exaggerates achievements and his talents. He requires excessive admiration, and he lacks empathy.
In my opinion, he does not. He has a personality disorder.
The necktie is wrapped tightly around each wrist.
Mr. Stanko had a defense that was at the cutting edge of science and far beyond where the laws of this country are right now. You see long-term value in this science. This will be the standard of forensic investigation in this field in the future.
I think it is possible to commit this sort of crime and not be insane.
The forensic doctor who performed the autopsy had outlined every single injury that she had to her body.
And I thought, Laura Ling's not here to speak for herself, but she has spoken. She was beautiful.
