I remember when Kurt died and accepted the official story, however I stumbled upon the film Kurt and Courtney a few weeks ago and did some follow up viewing of some videos with Courtney Love and I must say it has changed the way I look at this whole case.
First of all, here is the Kurt and Courtney movie in its entirety:

At one point in the film, I had this really horrible realisation that Courtney may be a psychopath and that I was somehow understanding "this is how they think". The film ends stating that the film maker doesn't know for sure whether Courtney had Kurt killed, but I think the film provides some strong evidence for something creepy going on. Specifically I found the following points relevant to the case and Courtney's pathology:
- The accounts from Courtney's father about her violent behaviour and "the way she thinks"
- (As someone else mentioned) El Duce mentioning that Courtney asked him to blow Kurt's head off for $50,000. Strangely enough, he also almost named another person involved and implied they actually did the job but stopped himself from saying. It turns out he was hit by a train within two weeks or so and died.
- There were no fingerprints found on the bullets in the gun
- Kurt apparently took a lot a dose of heroin that would have made it impossible to operate the rifle
All of the above details I realise are questionable, but I think present a valid reason to do a new investigation. As well, it puts Courtney in a very bad light.
Here are some other clips which show Courtney's nature:
Talking about the film Kurt and Courtney on the Howard Stern show:

Interesting the way she describes herself in this interview. Right out of the textbook of "are you a psychopath?":

A very interesting interview with Barbara Walters. Is it sincere, or a big performance?

I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on this. Would you label her a psychopath, sociopath or just emotionally troubled. I would say at least sociopath.
