When I watched the video of GG with the kid hitting the punching bag, my first thought was that he looked stoned. Kinda makes me wonder if he may have been on something when he first saw JPW. Not thinking with a clear mind, he could have done some inappropriate things which progressed to the rape. Then he sees she is visibly hurt and panics and kills her.
Honestly, based on that ask SM site, I would have guessed he was just a normal kid. And he seems a lot smarter than the actions that he took to cover up the crime, which is another reason I was thinking he was on drugs. It doesn't exactly fit with the whole athlete thing, but it's possible.
Can you point me to the video?
IMO he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is an actor. Evident when LE Interviewed him and how his demeanor changed. I don't believe for a minute he was so distraught he couldn't function enough to give that initial DNA. He needed time to try and think his way out or even run. I also believe he attached himself to Jenice's Family as it was the perfect Family to victimize. Brother he could hang out with. Jenise having so much freedom. I do believe she was groomed. Gaining her trust and perhaps moved on to some "inappropriate touching"? Was he really depressed? Or was he just withdrawn around Family as he wasn't capable of forming family relationships. Did he even care? Did he only care when he wanted something from them? Strangling wasn't enough. Blunt force trauma! Was it rage? or was it one of his sick fantasies? Poor little Jenise suffered unspeakable acts. Lives are forever shattered. I'm just not buying what he is selling.
Me either. Once I read how he switched his emotions on and off at the police station, that was it for me.
Not to be argumentative, is it really a fact? I've heard it said repeatedly throughout my life, but I wonder. I need to research it.
I've seen multiple stats today that indicate that. Especially when it comes to juveniles. However, it is not a fact that most children who are abused become offenders of some kind. That's untrue.
These stats do not cover recent years. My point is that there seems to be an increase in violent crimes committed by male juveniles, ages 17 to 22.
Nope.
The juvenile homicide arrest rate fell another 14% in 2012, which is 43% lower than in 1960.

Violent Youth Crime in U.S. Falls to New 32-Year Low
by Jeffrey A. Butts
According to new national arrest estimates calculated from data reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI), law enforcement agencies across the United States made slightly more than 60,000 violent crime arrests
involving youth under age 18 in 2012.
The FBI measures violent crime trends using the four offenses of murder, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated
assault. The number of youth arrests for all four offenses in 2012 represented a decline of 10 percent compared with
2011, and it contributed to an overall drop of 36 percent since 2003. During the same period, violent crime arrests
involving offenders age 18 and older fell just 9 percent.
Between 2003 and 2012, the estimated number of youth arrests for murder fell 37 percent, while forcible rape
arrests declined 36 percent, robbery arrests dipped 20 percent, and youth arrests for aggravated assault dropped
nearly 43 percent.

Yes, 2013 is not included in the stats, but there is no indication that crime rates in 2013 have drastically increased for juveniles.
