Someone bugger Spork to develop a proper emote for total depressing thoughts.
Sorry to correct you, but the model citizen was the victim:Duvelthehobbit666 said:It always seems that the model citizens are the ones who do some of the more crazy crimes. Quite interesting. But this is just terrible. The murderer should never be let out of jail. Never see sunlight again.
Thomas (murderer) had no comment as he was led out of the Delaware County Courthouse on Friday. Seidman (victim) was a longtime worker in the laundry department at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, where he was ''very popular,'' Kortan said.
"As far as we are concerned, he was a model citizen,'' Kortan said.
Damn, maybe I should read a bit better next time. However the article does not imply anything wrong with Thomas. He was very religious but did not seem to have anything wrong with him looking at the article. So he would seem to be a normal functioning person so my argument still holds.Giliell said:Sorry to correct you, but the model citizen was the victim:Duvelthehobbit666 said:It always seems that the model citizens are the ones who do some of the more crazy crimes.

I thought that that was rather important, instead of the stated reason for the murder...Police said Thomas, who is the executor and sole beneficiary of Seidman's will, returned to the apartment and pretended that he had just discovered Seidman's body.
True. He may be lying through his teeth but even if this is the case I still find it concerning that he feels that he can use the Bible as an excuse.Dragan Glas said:Greetings,

You make a good point about the insanity plea. In fact when I think about it he may have premeditated the whole thing so that he would have a way to get off on insanity if he was caught. It did cross my mind upon reading it that he may well have just been looking to get his hands on the victim's possessions and money and with reflection I too think that he probably was doing so.Unwardil said:Honestly, the cynic in me suspects this to be an elaborate insanity plea attempt. The murderer was named as the executor in the guy's will and he pretends that he discovers him 10 days later. Sorry, sounds like good old fashioned premeditated greedy to me. I don't think there's a spec of religious motivation whatsoever.
