“He was a good uncle and he loves his children,” she said. “He’s just sick.”

A good uncle does not murder 'HIS NIECE'!
How can any Grandma say MJ loves his kids when he did what he did to AR???? Plus torture & murder BB & HOW, HOW, HOW?????

I can't comprehend the mentality of this woman. :furious: :furious: :furious:

I actually believe the entire "family" has a big problem. For her(grandmother}to state "He is just sick" What do they think went on here? How many children did he molest and we know of one child dead...How many more could possibly be dead? But he is "just sick". This case has me completely in disgust.

I thought that comment was made by the neighbor?

this interview took place before it was known that brooke was dead and quite possibly before much was known about the full nature of jacques assault on AR. the line about him "just being sick" is a strange one tho. very odd thing to say given the circumstances. but i think it is the friend who nodded in agreement that said taht line, either that or that columnist is terrible because the way it is written it certainly implies it was the family friend that said it.

"“My family’s being torn apart,” she continued. “Michael has been my son-in-law for 12 years. That’s why I can say that I love him. I hugged him when Brooke went missing. And then I found out about this — well, you know what that did to my stomach.”

Close family friend Lorretta Hutchinson of Randolph nodded in agreement.

“He was a good uncle and he loves his children,” she said. “He’s just sick.”"

Friend: Losing Brooke Like Losing Part Of Herself

Classmates Mourn 12-Year-Old Found Dead In Randolph


RANDOLPH, Vt. -- Family and friends filed into Randolph Union High School on Tuesday night to pay their respects to Brooke Bennett.

Brooke, 12, disappeared on June 25 after she was last seen with her uncle at a convenience store in town. Her remains were found a week later alongside a street near her uncle's house.

Friends and classmates mourned their friend during calling hours Tuesday night.

"She's just a good friend and I loved her, I'll always love her," said Jacquelyn Lumbra, Brooke's classmate and friend. "We used to go swimming. She'd spend the night at my house, I'd spend the night at her house. We just always had fun together."

The O'Reilly show went into alot of detail about the case last night. Talked about the murder of Brooke but more on the Vermont laws. He really BASHED Vermont because of their lawmakers. Was very informative.

OT: I just learned that a man who raped an 8-year old girl in Finland was convicted for 2 years and 2 months. This was the sentence from the Court of Appeal and the next level would be the Supreme Court - I do hope that they will appeal, I just can´t understand that verdict!:furious:

Throughout history, those in power have always been the most corrupt and perverted.
Makes me wonder why there are so many light sentences handed out to child pornographers, and child molesters.

I'm with you texas48........
Sick isn't the word I would use!!!

I am very concerned how many more victims there are. It makes me ill!

Some of the vermont laws are ok, but alot of them need to be looked at and be redone, Alot of vermonters dont even like the laws and some of them just are so stupid.

Nor can I, Cheko. All I can think after reading that quote no matter who may have said it is the quote below by Mark Twain:

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."
Mark Twain

Well the family friend should be eating her words today as she prepares to go to BB funeral. I am glad you pointed out Grandma never said it....
my brain will work better once my Starbucks kicks in!!! LOL :blowkiss:

I made a mistake on my previous post........
It was a family friend that stated MJ was a good uncle & he loves his kids.

But Becca you are correct Mom taught her daughters well, deny deny deny!

and when you really think about it , it isn't so hard to understand... these are women that have been taught that you have to have a husband, you have to do what he says to keep him happy, you have to let him take care of the money.... it goes back generations. It didn't start with her, but goes way back. This is how girls were told about life. They are ill prepared for the real world.

Mark Twains quote fits without a doubt.
