The Army verdict was that Leonski was a "fiend," whose barehanded strangulation of three Melbourne women "cast a foul blot on the service." But there were two other theories about Leonski, one of which may still save him from the gallows.
In Dr. Wertham's psychiatric terminology, the Leonski case was that of catathymic crisis resulting from the same mother fixation which plagued Shakespeare's Hamlet, which for centuries has driven certain types of thwarted men to kill the thing they love the most.
Leonski, according to Dr. Wertham, was a lonely, heartsick tenement boy suddenly deprived of all sense of comfort and personal love.

In 1942 Hosking's grieving father had told the press the only thing right for the American GI Eddie Leonski, the killer of his 'beautiful daughter', was hanging.
The toughs said the courts and the police were on the other side and dead against them.
