TOP SHRINK: EGOTISTICAL NH KILLER NOT INSANE

GOING PLACES

A TOP forensic psychiatrist told a New Hampshire court that the accused killer suspected in a bloody home invasion considers himself a master criminal. Christopher Gribble, 21, has admitted his role in the brutal October 2009 slaying of single mom Kimberly Cates and the maiming of her daughter Jaimie, 11, but says he's insane. However, Dr. Albert Drukteinas says Gribble does not suffer from delusions or an inability to control his behavior.
He spent nearly eight hours interviewing Gribble--the self-described 'Angel of Death'-- in February and found the accused killer had an outrageous sense of his abilities and potential. He described the slaying like "it was a football game."

 “Mr. Gribble does have some mental disorders, but they did not rise to the level of being serious mental disorders that … kept him from understanding what he and the others were doing,” Drukteinis said. “He knew that his actions were criminal. His disorders didn’t make him do these things. He chose to do them.”
