from the Globe today Was there anything in Chism’s past that indicated why he might do this?
His maternal grandmother and aunt had a history of psychotic disorders, and the defense pointed to those genes as indication that Chism also suffered from psychosis. Chism’s childhood was certainly chaotic. His mother left his father after he was repeatedly unfaithful and moved in with friends in Tennessee, then moved the family to Florida with her father. They eventually moved back to Tennessee where he, his mother and two younger sisters shared one room. Chism would often retreat to his best friend’s house and spend days with their family. Dr. Richard Dudley, the defense expert psychiatrist, said he saw a lot of “trauma-related symptoms” in Chism—the teenager refused to talk about some issues and seemed dissociative from his own childhood experiences, he said—but Dudley could never pinpoint what the trauma was. =========================== I saw 3 people testify from TN. None of them mentioned that Chism had a girlfriend in TN. ????? I will try to find that Boston Globe article about Chism's girlfriend in TN. The link was NG when I tried it.
