In Kevin Spacey Trial His Expert Links Rapp to Narcissus While Randy Fowler in the Shadows

LITERARY SDNY, Oct 19 – The final day of evidence was full of fights around Spacey's expert Doctor Bardey.

He'd called Rapp a narcissist, or on cross examination, exhibit aspects of narcissistic personality disorder. Apparently, anyone who did not like being ignored could qualify for this.

  Kurt Wheelock, while live tweeting the arguments, wondered if his ongoing response to the UN throwing him out and banning his would qualify for this. There was the UN correspondent who had done a fundraiser with Ghislaine Maxwell, the same Maxwell whom Kevin Spacey had posed with on the dual thrones in the UK. 

   Kurt was going back to listen to Randy Fowler, too. A podcaster had asked him about Epstein; he's answered about his brother on the thrones with Epstein's "female accomplice."

  Was Randy too a narcissist, for not liking being cut off by his brother after being sexually assaulted by their father?    Judge Kaplan had shaved Rapp's case down.  He'd mused, before the charging conference, about whether as told Spacey had intended the pin-down to sexually gratify not only himself, but also 14 year old Anthony Rapp.

  Rapp's lawyer said Spacey had meant to get consent -- not that a 14 year old can legally consent, of course. Still, the closing arguments would happen. More on Patreon here.

And, from the creative commons: "The term 'narcissism' comes from the Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses, written in 8 AD. Book III of the poem tells the mythical story of a handsome young man, Narcissus, who spurns the advances of many potential lovers. When Narcissus rejects the nymph Echo, who was cursed to only echo the sounds that others made, the gods punish Narcissus, making him fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. When Narcissus discovers that the object of his love cannot love him back, he slowly pines away & dies."
