Yeah, nothing like calling a murderer a victim... SMDH. According to Gaeta's mom she did try to get him help prior as he was showing signs of depression. She says that he had a therapist at one point and he was on medication but she said she ran into insurance problems. She also said she asked his school for help with no results. She said he had sustained head injuries during wrestling matches. And she also said he got more depressed after a knee surgery. Um, okay.
On August 4 when FBI agents knocked on his door to ask for a voluntary DNA sample she told them he was too upset to speak to them or give a DNA sample and to come back later. On August 8, the day after Jenise's body was found they returned and while Gaeta gave a sample the agents thought his behavior was odd.
I'm reposting an article from 2014 about the DNA and one from 2017 about his past mental health. Ignore the garbage about Gaeta's behavior after the murder - to me it's just spin. He lost 14 pounds in 2 months in jail after refusing to eat? Cripes, the guy started at 200!
Sorry for the over response - I still fume over this case.
