Did Castillo Lie or Did He Compartmentalize?
Today we may hear closing arguments in the Alvaro Castillo trial. As a “word-a-phile” I hope the defense will point out the origins of the word “schizophrenia.” It is from the Greek “skhizein” for “split” and “phrenos” for “mind.”
So, the question is: Did Castillo lie to psychiatrists at UNC when he denied feeling suicidal or homicidal? Or was he simply “of half a mind” to kill someone?
