Michael McKee's Not Guilty Plea - The Psychology of a Game Player | Tepe Murders

Why would someone enter a not guilty plea when the evidence against them includes surveillance footage, ballistics matches, and a documented history of alleged threats? In the case of Michael McKee, charged with the aggravated murders of Spencer and Monique Tepe, the answer may lie in a psychological profile forensic experts call the "game player." According to court documents, investigators have surveillance footage linking McKee's vehicle to the scene, a firearm from his Chicago condo matched through national ballistics databases, and witness statements describing years of alleged abuse and threats against Monique — including that he could "kill her at any time" and that she would "always be his wife." Yet McKee pleaded not guilty and waived his bail hearing while reserving future rights. Strategy, not desperation. This episode examines the psychology behind defendants who view their own prosecution as a competition rather than a consequence. We look at the patterns seen in Scott Peterson, Chris Watts, and Ted Bundy — men who faced overwhelming evidence but refused to fold — and explore what that mindset reveals about the alleged crimes themselves. The same detachment that allows someone to treat a murder trial as an intellectual exercise may be the same detachment that allows them to commit the act. For the game player, other people aren't fully real. They're pieces on a board. And the trial isn't punishment — it's the championship round. McKee has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
