Description

"This program investigates the relationship between abuse suffered as a child and the likelihood of committing murder later in life especially when that abuse results in brain damage. The horrific slaying of Peyton Tuthill by Donta Page is examined, and the case of a mild-mannered doctor who became violent due to pressure from a brain tumor is addressed . Also featured are the findings of various experts, including forensic psychiatrist Dorothy Otnow Lewis, expert witness for Page's defense; Adrian Raine, whose studies of 41 murderers have consistently revealed frontal lobe damage; and neurologist Jonathan Pincus, author of 'Base instincts: what makes killers kill?' Original BBC broadcast title: 'Damaged'"--Container.
