Today we are going to discuss Charles Whitman, the Texas Tower shooter, who asked for an autopsy to be done after his death to determine what made him kill. The autopsy found a tumor pressing on his amygdala, possibly influencing his actions. Do you think it influence him, or was he psychopath carrying out his favorite fantasy?
