Timex said:Yes, that could well be. Is the embezzlement the only criminal problem he has ever had? Or does he have other criminal activity in his past?
I've often wondered, and this is truly dramatic speculation LOL, if LE has not said anything in a while, as they know he has a court date this week...and they have been working both angles, murder and embezzlement, and if any big dramatic thing will happen before, during, or after the hearing on Friday.golfmom said:Could it be that they're not too worried about him fleeing right now with the embezzlement charges hanging over his head?
SouthEastSleuth said:(Ok, stop laughing! I know it sounds like TV material! LOL)
Timex said:Thanks...trying to get a "feel" of what he could expect from the embezzlement issue.
First time offender...not a large amount of money etc...would he be facing jail time? Or restitution and probation?
If there are other criminal issues, it could effect the outcome of the embezzlement charges.
Ok GM! That was an none to subtle reminder! LOLgolfmom said:It was posted here that there was charges filed for attacking a referee. One of our members was going to see if they could find the paperwork regarding it.
But see, I think that this illustrates my point even more. He wanted to dump that car. Then when he found out that there was this web site, and he started to chat, he decided to keep the car and make it better and better so he could become a part of this "club". He did what he felt he had to do to become a part of the club; to be a part of SOMETHING.golfmom said:That's an interesting observation! Mine was he didn't just want to fit in, but he wanted to be crowned the King of VXers. Remember, he found them because he wanted to figure out how to get rid of his vehicle that he now hated, he FORCED Janet to drive it because he didn't want to. Then he discovered THE CLUB and bought every accessory and REPAINTED it black (see Big Boy Toys) so he would have the purtiest VX in the world.

That member was ME!
And, I did indeed check. And then completely forgot about it, because it yielded me nothing (but a big ol' waste of two hours of my time! LOL).

True! And unless we had a location, it'd be really hard to verify... Could be anywhere in NC, VA, or who knows where else. A lot of the soccer leagues play in tournaments, etc., all over a state, and even out of state, quite often actually!golfmom said:Sorry SES! I thought the check date was scheduled a little later this week ... LOL! But honestly, it doesn't even have to be in NC. What if it happened in Virginia?

He started out wanting to dump the car, then after spending some time at the site & "talking" to people, he started to modify the car little by little, and by the end of it, he's talking about how they are all part of a unique club or some such nonsense.
You make a good point, I too feel bad for him that he doesn't realize how annoying he is. Also, I didn't mean to imply that I think he's guilty of murder just because he is a jerk. I haven't made up my mind on who did it yet, I need more information. I sincerely hope he didn't do it and that perhaps this experience, even though it's so horrible, will help him change his ways and be a good example for his son. Regardless of whether or not he's guilty of murder, I'm sorry he had a rough childhood.JerseyGirl said:And a part of me strongly agrees with this as well. I've ranted and raved several times here at WS about this very same point. I just try to remind myself that even if Raven is a big jerk, he might be only a big jerk. Until I feel 100% confident that he's a murderer, that small bit of compassion still comes into play. As a jerk who doesn't even realize how annoying he is, I feel bad for him. As a murderer, I surely don't.
Timex said:ok..Ive been reading through some of the early media articles, and have a question.
In one of original articles, LE made a statement something like "we have nothing that would indicate this is a random crime".
