I thought even when at Patton you're still considered in custody? I've been thinking about it lately and talked to Antoinette quite a few times and I just can't imagine what they are going through. I've always admired how strong the immediate family is and I wish everyone had the chance to experience what I did and just the genuine raw emotions and still staying strong enough to see this through and they still have compassion for the Mercado family and now more than ever I hope CM gets the death penalty. At first I thought okay he is mentally ill and he is sick but I feel like I was naive. The amount of elaborate planning that went into this whole tragedy to say there was premeditation is an understatement. I believe Gianni was killed the same way Sal and Ilona were where he walked up to vulnerable victims and shot at close range with his homemade silencer. He meticulously planned a trip to Riverside with Gianni in his own trunk with his pants pulled down to his ankles stripped of even more dignity while decomposition was well into the process. I can't even imagine the smell for that trip I had mushrooms that had gone bad after 2 days and that smell was terrible
I just don't understand how someone is considered incompetent but trying to hide the odor of decomposition sounds like a competent minded solution to his problem he knew at that time he was doing something wrong and he knew there was cosequences. CM bought a car in Riverside from Craigslist. I am not sure if he bought the car before or after he thoughtfully backed Gianni's car into a parking space and gets pulled over a few days later (not sure how long Gianni's car was parked there for but I think it was only a few days maximum) CM gets pulled over and of course he appears out of it he probably thought they must have known it was him and he had just been caught anyone would have seemed off in that position. I wonder if he had taken his precious guns with him to Riverside or if he had even been home before Gianni was found or was he actually on his trip back. Then this murderer goes on about his life for 6 months working, spending time with family, and other day to day things sound pretty competent to me. CM even had the audacity to put the tape he had left over in the household garage where he lived. He had more compassion for the tape than he did for 3 people in the beginning of their adult lives. I just don't have compassion for this guy and I really don't feel like he should deserve to live in prison forever for the sake of his family. I am sure they love him but he is a monster and I don't see that type of criminal rehabiliting. I am emotionally biased on this case because I have witnessed
the victims family get trashed in the media, the victims get trashed, I've seen the nasty things people would comment on the news sites, and all of the focus on the victims and their families but what about the Mercado family? Why isn't the media trying to figure out what went wrong over there instead of assuming the victims must have somehow caused their own deaths. Okay I'm done venting I'll fix my grammar later when I get to a comp
