Yeah, I think F was gonna get off by appeal, then they retried him. Ick, makes my skin crawl.

Tho, didn't Jayden Leskie's accused murderer get off after going to trial, as well as that father who drove his three sons into a dam - in Qld I think - didn't he go to trial twice? Ya never know.

I see a third option - he has a conscience, but has not connected the dots yet. He is overwhelmed by his emotions, which has stopped him thinking, and allowing his conscience to realise what he has done. I imagine in this scenario, down the track guilt and regret will kick in. Could be days...

That's not true. This is a very quick thread, talking like a chat right now, which may make it seem like some things are ignored, but if u go back through the thread I am sure u will see we talked about the possible innocence of the accused, and about various other things. Many ppl have also...

agree. we are discussing scenarios, to try to make sense, to try to improve our understanding of the world (assume I can talk for a few others). we are not purporting this to be fact. earlier, we talked about how he could be innocent.

This was talked about a little earlier. Someone pointed a clip out about laws in SA, and how DNA had to be on the database, or offered to b considered. Still don't know if this really took into account it could have been taken another way, like u suggest.

I still believe a conscience can be developed, or destroyed by life, by society. The only exception I can see for this is the case of brain damange. And was he using his conscience, or being controlled by mood in this instance??

I reckon his mum must of bought all his clothes, which he didn't like, so he just wore the same one he did like over and over.

True, not all dangerous killers are loners, but to me, from the past life he hasn't shown that many features of a sociopath. This seemed like a single act in his life - noone has reported things like him lighting fires, killing animals, all that. And a boy's brain is not fully developed at 18 -...

I stated earlier that just cause someone had a mental disorder, this would not necessarily mean they end up in psych ward, or get off. Mood disorders are characterised by extreme rage, anger, etcetera. I don't think he was a sociopath (anti-social personality disorder) because he had an...

oh gawd, how bad can life b? I personally think family and friend dynamics has a lot to do with it - not causing him to commit this crime, allegedly, but in where he was mentally (e.g. self-esteem) and in terms of handling of situations. He obviously lacked appropriate strategies to handle...

I think he thought about it for a while, but without intention of carrying through, just fantasizing. I think the party, and then maybe the "I love you D...." msg on fb were the final straw and sometime then he decided to carry through. I think you could b right about the rape too.

I can't see that. The first reaction would be shock at the accusation, not anger.

That;s why I wondered earlier if he did have a mental disorder - because when you do, with some of them, you feel numb, nothing, no remorse or fear or any feelings.

By planned what I guess I also meant was thought about, desired to do it, got angry and brought a knife. When someone is so enraged they commit a "frenzied" crime (in police words), they can't think through logically every aspect so not to get caught, or as to why they shouldn't commit the...

Different people react in diff ways. When fearful, I freeze and shake, can't move.

If she had a knife held to her throat, and he was threatening her, then maybe not.

But he prob took knife with him. Maybe he gave her a chance to change his mind.

I think so too. I also wonder why other neighbours didn't respond either. Houses seemed close, including to houses at the back.

and she was in bed, according to her fb. doubt that was false
