Hi everyone! I've been lurking this case since thread #4 and as for today I decided to join you guys. I've given this case quite some thought and I would like to share my 2 cents.
*On a side note --> English is not my first and native tongue, please bare with me regarding spelling and grammer fails.*
Somewhere deep inside me, I feel that LM had an abusive past. To what extent I cannot say, but that it left some pretty nasty scarring I do believe. This made me think about a motivation why LM did the things he did to poor JL.
Dismembering a body is not something new to crimeworld. In cases what I've seen on t.v. is that dismembering is often associated with revenge. So let's assume that LRM was abused and he felt all the anger accompanied with it and reflected that on JL. At this point it has nothing to do with any personal feelings towards the victim, but purely the feeling he had towards his abusers. Why he snapped is only guesswork, but in some strange way I cannot discard this theory.
wow, that's some pretty, serieus, messed up things. And if true
it feeds my somewhere deep inside gut feeling
.
why does the name "manny" seem so familiar in this case.. like ive read in somewhere before..
I don't recall the name "manny", but I do recall a blogpost ( sorry I cannot for the life of me say which one ) where LM writes about "eating faeces" in front of a client. Maybe that's where you saw it too?
Also I watched a clubbing video from 2009 on dailymotion I believe it was. And in some of the shots you can clearly see this scars from the hairtransplants. So in his auditioning vid he did not lie about that and you can clearly see that he dropped his guard/shield at several points. I tried to watch that aud-vid openminded, since he auditioned before anything of his alleged crimes were committed. And I too find ( as some of you posted earlier ) that he came across as a nice person ( yes with issues yes ).
Pff there I put it out there...
