I believe CD wanted LE and dogs off property for fear of them finding something else. DA is in a fairy tale saying he likes to think CD wanted to see boys back home. I also think CD watched too many mafia movies and bios and thought he could get away with murder like some OC members from Philly have thus feeding this Goodfella/mafia image he thought he was. I think he used money he took from JTP to string SK along. Although they were cousins I don't think SK had everything that CD had. Hence the burglary charges and even job as a dishwasher. I believe KBM said when CD talked about murder they were calling his bluff. Don't believe CD could have convinced any of friends to help him so he used his cousin with the lure of cash. I believe he would have tried to pin it on him too by giving him the murder weapons if he could have.
