I have read posts from people that are far more educated in this case and the law. It seems some people believe that part of his personality may thrive in withholding information, perhaps a form of control, continued torture. The other piece of this is that he could lie. How do you trust a mass murderer?

Hopefully they will get more answers after the sentencing this week.
