On the other hand, when faced with [[Serial Killer]] Nate Haskell, who has the same gene and his own abusive father, he testifystestifies in open court against his attempt to use this card, and afterwards Haskell admits to him that he decided in his youth he'd blame it on those things if he were ever caught.
