The heinous actions of Ariel Castro will never be forgotten by his victims Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, and after hearing the details from Castro's interrogation he will never forget his actions either.
The police interview revealed a man who showed no remorse for torturing and raping three women during a decade in captivity. Castro revealed that he only felt remorse for getting caught and even called himself "cold blooded."
Although Castro's words and demeanor showed a man with no remorse or guilt, his actual words told a different story.
Latin Times spoke with Dr. Michael Stone a Forensic Psychiatrist at Columbia University and here is what he had to say about Castro's interrogation with police:
"Castro expressed a measure of regret once he was captured, and called himself a 'sexual predator,' not far off the mark there!" Stone told Latin Times. "But blamed his behavior on childhood trauma or adversity of some 'unspecified' sort but what about the 2 brothers? How come they ended up better?"
Stone added, "But a bit-of-remorse- or not, what Castro did: make sex slaves and torture victims for ten years out of those three girls means that he is very likely a sexual psychopath."
Stone compared Castro to infamous serial killers such as Ed Kemper, Ted Bundy, Leonard Lake and Derrick Todd Lee saying the only difference is Castro "kept them alive so he could continue his raping and torture without having to hunt around looking for the next victim."
Castro sits behind bars in isolation in Cuyahoga County Jail. He's being watched 24/7 as a suicide prevention measure.
If prosecutors are successful Castro will face the death penalty.
Stone describes Castro as being a "Poster Boy" for the death penalty, but has doubts that he will actually be executed.
"Some defense attorney will weep over his 'awful childhood' and con the jury into giving a lighter sentence. But maybe they'll be tough this time." Stone told Latin Times.
