The Mind of a Murderer
1: The Case of the Hillside Strangler For the first time court-ordered videotapes allow a television audience to watch a mass murderer while psychiatrists, appointed to assess his sanity, interview him in prison. This remarkable television event provides an extraordinary portrait of a mass killer, Kenneth Bianchi , the American counterpart of the Yorkshire Ripper.
An all-American boy and doting father, BIANCHI strangled 12 young women, yet had no memory of the crimes.
The videotapes show how the psychiatrists discovered an astonishing 'dual personality'; Bianchi appeared to be a true 'Jekyll and Hyde', with two quite different personalities in the same body. He was diagnosed insane. Then, with the arrival of Dr Martin Orne , doubts began to creep in ... was Bianchi genuine or somehow managing to fool eminent psychiatrists? This film provides a rare portrait of a deranged mind, and raises basic questions about the criminal personality and the role of psychiatrists in court.
