Is Robert Telles Capable Of Empathy For Anyone Other Than Himself?

Mind Behind The Crime | The Psychology Of Killers

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott explores the emotional dynamics of Robert Telles during his trial for the murder of Jeff German. Scott discusses Telles' courtroom behavior, particularly his emotional display when he tearfully described his failed suicide attempt. She interprets this as an attempt to control the narrative and gain sympathy from the jury, rather than a genuine expression of remorse or grief. Scott introduces the concept of "narcissistic collapse," explaining that when narcissists face exposure or humiliation, they often react dramatically, seeking sympathy and attention rather than reflecting on their actions. She suggests that Telles' actions in court, including his focus on his own suffering rather than the victim, are characteristic of this psychological phenomenon. Scott also discusses how this collapse can lead to violent or erratic behavior, as seen in Telles' alleged actions against German. The conversation sheds light on the complexities of narcissistic behavior and its potential impact on legal outcomes.
