No, to me it sounds like it was an issue of money. His siblings don't want to pay for him. He seemed pretty zealous over Nick's innocence, not something I would imagine he would do if they had a quarrel. Nick has no money of his own to pay Jackson since by killing his parents he would inherit zilch.

There is no evidence that this is the case. He has said repeatedly (in interviews and on Dopey) that he and Rob never really 'fought' in terms of outbursts or anything like that. They had a strenuous relationship but it wasn't a violatile one. At least it wasn't when he was still in his early...

No, I don't but he specifically mentions that at least some were for months and as far as I know a rehab stint is at least a month.. About the 'another stint', it's also what he said I don't know which interview you're referring to but on Dopey he said he went through 18 rehabs by the time he...

These rehabs stints are months on end. He by his own admission spent most of his time from 14 years old to 19-20 years old in rehabs. I think he said he went through 18 rehabs in that timeframe in different states (Maine, Texas, Utah were some of the mentioned). How much time do you think he had...

Nothing of that story makes sense. Holly was taken to the location of where her body was found, her phone sat there for 20 minutes approximately (evidently to rape and kill her) and then the phone began moving again towards Parsons. None of the circus theatrics the prosecution tries to spin...

Huh? He looks like a completely normal kid. I'm curious how did you come to the conclusion he looks mentally ill in his childhood pictures. No, people aren't hardwired at birth, that's your opinion. <modsnip: Quoted post was modsnipped>

He was not taken out of the camps, he ran away. And he was allowed to go back home on the condition he goes to another camp, vice versa until he was 20 or something when he said he was exhausted and gave up. And evidently their approach didn't change at all given what we know from his own...

We're talking about how he got to that point where he felt the need to kill his parents, we're not talking about what he became in the end. He wasn't always mentally ill and to imply that would be naive. Furthermore I would say that most mentally ill people and drug addicts don't kill their...

Yes, but the point here is that he was never even given a chance to realize it for himself. His formulative years were spent hanging out with hardcore junkies far away from his family or friends who could have kept him grounded and stable. We're not talking about an adult man here but a kid. For...

Here's the thing - rehab doesn't help you with that. For any type of addiction you need the person himself to realize from within himself that he is in the wrong and he's damaging himself and those around him with his actions. If you try to 'force' the issue, you're not really helping him or...

Well, the most likely reason is that they wanted to keep an eye on him. He had previously destroyed the guest house druing one of his drug binges. Maybe they thought he'd do that or even harm himself? Another reason I can think of is that they wanted for him to go out and socialize, make...

Keep a close watch on him, give him something to do (he never even went to school) to occupy himself with, try to understand where he is coming from and why (drugs, alcohol or any other form of addiction are never done just for fun, there is always a deep rooted cause for it), be there...

Reading this case I can't help but feel like Rob Reiner took a very wrong approach with this child. To send him to 18 different rehab centers, the equivalent of boot camps, in his teenage years, far away from his family would do some serious damage to a normal child's psyche, let alone to one...

The problem is we don't know if the rumors of his pedophilic tendencies come because the crime included children combined with his job as a teacher, thereby fuelling the media circus around this case. My problem with this theory is that he obviously went there with the intention of killing (or...

This case is such a travesty of justice. I just watched the majority of the trial and judge McGinley was an absolute disgrace in it. Horribly biased even to a naked eye. These chumps were obviously not good people, but you have to be out of it to think these junkies who are barely stable or...
