When the topic of serial murder comes up, almost reflexively, the diagnosis of psychopathic personality is given as an explanation for the offender's behavior.

The new Hulu mini-series, "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox," has everyone wondering how an innocent college student could be convicted for a crime when the evidence pointed to another person. Research on legal psychology, specifically on a 20-year old theory known as the phenomenology of innocence, holds some of the answers.

On the 10th day of the search for Nancy Guthrie, reporters camped outside of the missing woman's home noticed a strange man strut right up to the front door.
