Jeanna, you are absolutely right.
How the parents of a dog act isn't necessarily how the pup will turn out (because there are a lot of factors)... BUT, it's a good indication. Fear-biters will produce fear-biters, if the parents are shy, typically the pups will be too.
I believe genetics can play a role in someone's "temperament", but it's not everything.
Is her name a traditional name? I sort of thought it was a very unique name, not related to any culture.
Edited to add: If you google search on that name, on the 21st page of hits, there are other Jorelys, besides this girl. So it's an actual name.
JVM said they are told the forensics are "mammoth" in this case
I would say he appears to be a very OLD looking 20 year old. Receding hairline, something older in his face.
I can't link it now, his facebook page is gone, but at a party he attended last New Years Eve, he was able to escape any criminal charges for underage drinking although cops raided the party. My guess is, because he looks 30.
OK... is Nancy confused on the "details" or is it me?
Nancy Grace: He had just started working there this November. He is eligible for lethal injection. What is known about him?
Reporter Veronica Waters: He appears to be a young looking 20 year old. Slightly built. Thin. Freckled face. Just moved there from New York. Had lived in Virginia.
NG: He may look young but how young did Jorelys look? NG is narrowing the period of time saying that the babysitter just went into get a coat and then...Jorelys goes missing (LittleBitty has not heard this before)
Natisha Lance: Suspect had key to the compactor. Roomies with the office mgr's son? Or friends with the office manager?
NG: How close was the playground and her apartment from the crime scene/ playground?
Natisha: She lived in the 900 building. It was about 50 feet from the playground. Everything is still a crime scene on that first floor. Some tenants don't have access to their apartements?
NG: Unleash the lawyers...
Defense attorney Kessler: LE has to connect him to the crime if it is a death penalty case.
NG: Criminal law/ law school 101...maintenance guy mentioned to a resident that there were vacant apartments and anyone could do something to little kids in there. And the crime scene for Jorelys was a vacant apartment. Connect the dots, Kessler.
Kessler: They need the DNA to tie him to it to be 100, thousand % sure here.
Rene Defense attorney: His background will play into this. He is so young that his background may sway jurors when he eventually does go to trial.
Yup, and I'm really bothered at all the "young" talk. He's 20 - not a baby, not a toddler, not a teen, but a MAN. Peterson and Anthony were young too. Lots of 20 year olds commit crime.
I don't believe age should have anything to do with his sentence because he is a fully grown man and will be tried like an adult (unlike teens who are tried as adults).
I wish the attorney's would stop referring to him as a KID. He's not a kid -- not by a long shot.
MOO

Does anyone speak Spanish? I am trying to figure out if Nancy and other are pronouncing Jorelys' name correctly.
I don't know about defense wheels, but maybe CPS wheels and adoptive agency wheels, and child psychologist's wheels.
This is something we as a society need to recognize - that children who are so neglected in their early childhood that parents lose custody don't turn out well typically. They're hollow.
I have a friend with 3 adopted children, adopted after the age of 5, and 2 of them are doing great and one of them might turn out to be a stone cold murderer. He's absolutely hollow, had virtually no mothering for the first years of his life - and doesn't believe he's like other humans - he thinks he's superhuman - although he does have a number of kids who hang out with him and call him their friend. Because he's fun and good at stuff.
He's been in and out of psychiatric facilities. If I heard he'd done something like this I'd say yeah I'm not surprised in the least. Although to date he's never done anything violent. He just has ZERO ability to empathize.
I think few parents who adopt kids older than babies are totally prepared for what they get - often kids with reactive attachment disorder.
Prayers for RB's family.
