Stanko trial updates
Stanko trial updates
Stephen Stanko will address the jury...
Greg Hembree warns the performance will be "THE performance of his long, horrible career".
One that he wouldn't take on under the scrutiny of state's cross examination...
There was a look of sadness and shame that I glimpsed in court yesterday; one has to wonder
if it is that he is facing is "final act" or does he really know what he has done to so many people
and some part of him does understand the totality of it all...
In such cases as this, all we can do is face the fact that we will never know for sure. Calculating,
manipulation and narcissistic characteristics that reveal violent behavior when a person is exposed
for who or what they really are, can only be examined as more of the same when placed in a position
to discuss their behavior.
Remembering that narcissistic characteristics personality disorder is defined as: a condition in which there is an
inflated sense of self-importance and an extreme preoccupation with one's self.
Narcissistic personality disorder symptoms may include:
- Believing that you're better than others
- Fantasizing about power, success and attractiveness
- Exaggerating your achievements or talents
- Expecting constant praise and admiration
- Believing that you're special and acting accordingly
- Failing to recognize other people's emotions and feelings
- Expecting others to go along with your ideas and plans
- Taking advantage of others
- Expressing disdain for those you feel are inferior
- Being jealous of others
- Believing that others are jealous of you
- Trouble keeping healthy relationships
- Setting unrealistic goals
- Being easily hurt and rejected
- Having a fragile self-esteem
- Appearing as tough-minded or unemotional
Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence or strong self-esteem, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence and self-esteem into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal. In contrast, people who have healthy confidence and self-esteem don't value themselves more than they value others.
Some narcissistic personalities will act out with rage when they feel rejected or threatened.

It's interesting how the media can somehow twist the words and testimonies
not always reporting with accuracy... but this sums it up in a nutshell.
I hear that a Christian counselor of Stephen Stanko's who once was a school teacher
at his middle school, states he is truly remorseful now and has been saved. She doesn't
feel it is "prison religion" but it is indeed salvation.
One can pray that for his sake, it is true. Mr. Turner and Laura Ling didn't have the choice
of life - it was taken from them. May they rest in peace.
