Hi, Cuckoohead!

I have missed you! This guy is something else for sure. He remembers everything he did, so he was not crazy when he killed Lisa and the kids.

This is an adult who made the decision to quit taking his med/s right? This is an adult who decided to do coke right? What he did to that family was a result of his decisions.

He sure did remember a great deal of what he did to that mom and her two little kids. But he couldn't face up and admit to the sexual mutlations could he? There he draws the line? He murders little kids and freely admits to it?

He needs to go away and if the Judge gives him death I have no doubt he knew full well what he did.

I missed ya too (((Jewels)))! The no livestream court case withdrawls were killin me!
