eight-foot barrier of bulletproof glass that
separated him from the gallery. Lionel
Dahmer and his second wife attended the
trial throughout.

9. MY OPINION ABOUT HIM
• He was a Sociopath and a Psychopath. He lied a lot, was a big risk taker,
manipulated and controlled others. . He took and did what he wanted with NO
regard to others. He was quite intelligent but got caught. He lured his victims in
by pretending to like or love them. He acted like his victims wanted him to be. It's
all about acting..because they have zero emotions. However, not all Sociopaths
are murderers.
