This girl showed symptoms of psychopathic behavior for some time. She lived with her parents. Why didn't they see this? Denial is a powerful thing.

Not having watched the trial, I don't know whether she has been diagnosed with any mental defect or whether she has even been psychologically evaluated. However, I have read that psychopaths are masters at gaining sympathy and going undetected.
If she should
not be punished and/or held criminally responsible in the event the jury decides that she committed homicide (of any degree), should all psychopaths go unpunished for heinous crimes? Should all sexual abuse victims?
