Such awareness is what Giddings therapists strive for, but it is difficult to rend the veil killers cloak themselves in. During his session, Jerry Morris, 17, hunched over in tears but could not come clean about his crime -- the murder of a gay man. He and Arnie Hall have failed not only their inquisitors but also themselves. The shock-talk therapy comes at the end of the program, most of which has been spent in exercises designed to undo defenses and allow introspection. Arnie and Jerry won't get another crack at the psychodrama. Now they are scheduled to appear in court to hear their fate. Depending on their cases, they may end up with longer terms in prison or be recommitted to a youth facility -- or they may be paroled and returned to the streets.
