Arthur Shawcross is a pathalogical liar who desperately tried to cultivate an appearance of insanity in order to spare himself. He led psychologists involved in his trial in any direction he believed might reinforce the idea he was insane and not responsible for his actions. From what Shawcross revealed during these sessions stem most of the sensationalist rumors surrounding the case. There is no evidence of him cannabilizing any of his victims. There is no support for his wild stories of heroic actions and tragedy in Vietnam. There is no evidence of psychological trauma stemming from abuse as a child. However, it does appear likely that Shawcross was affected by organic disorders that may have impaired his judgement. +
