It was a long time ago....maybe about 10 years or so I was traveling to the state of Illinois on business. On the local news I saw a 21 year old red headed boy who had murdered his mother and step father when he was 17. After which he had raped his dead mother. They were JWs and I remember the news media surrounding the Kingdom Hall where brothers and sisters scrambled around like mice.
I believe she was pretty wealthy. Anyway, his attorneys had plea bargained and he was only charged for the murder of his step father and not the mother. It just so happened that when he had turned 21 he was entitled to inherit his mothers estate of millions. I remember the news media was hounding this kid and asking him why he was doing this and his reply was "it was my attorneys idea". I know people were outraged at the legal system because the plea bargain was manipulated with an alterior motive of attorneys making mega bucks for themselves and a murderer profiting from his victim.
When I returned to Virginia I never found out what the outcome was. I cant remember the boys name and the injustice of the legal system haunts me till this day.
Anyone remember?
