Remember when that law professor declared herself a sociopath? She went off on how the law generally, and trial law specifically, was a sociopath’s dream. Elie was quick to question whether or not pitch warfare was really a sociopath’s dream and trial law a mere waste of talents.
And then in The Wisdom of Psychopaths (affiliate link), we learned there are more psychopaths among lawyers than any job description other than CEO.

8 Tips For Creating A Comprehensive ‘AI In The Workplace’ Policy

Sounds like a happy home. Piling on to his eclectic accomplishments, he was also a handwriting expert in the JonBenet Ramsey case. In fact, it was Miller’s opinion that fingered Patsy Ramsey as the author of the ransom note. He even turned his work on that case into a book.
