Thanks.

This is almost exactly what I pictured: [URL="http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/103/l_9cabf2e46634407f9582a4d5a92a491d.jpg]Jenni-Lyn and Pieper[/URL]. He's got a very odd look about him.

I couldn't see that photo from your link...is this it?:

He is too small to claim this "defense", imo.

How awful...poor Jenni-Lyn. G-d bless you and your family.

Thanks for letting me know.

I was trying to post THIS PICTURE, which is the clearest of him.

Really. 5'7", 140 pounds. Maybe they can claim "short man's anger".

 

[pjsmommy]

so glad they have finally named SP the ex. knew it was him all along. so did the family im guessing

I think he probably has intense anger issues, thats a given according to what msm is reporting today.
I don't think he meant to killer, tbh, but then again I really don't know. From what I have seen/read around boards and on their mutual friends pages, they never saw this coming from him. They knew he didn't want to end the relationship, but didn't think he was capable of killing her. Some speculated that he did it while a majority of friends said knock it off because they couldn't bring themselves to think that way.

Again, he doesn't compare much larger than her. I don't think rage from drugs is a defense of any sort. However, jealousy, anger, blind passion - yes. I believe that.

{snipped}

Not defending him of any sort, I need to be clear. Generally, as a rule of thumb, I try to believe the best I can in people until proven wrong. I can't, not just yet, bring myself to believe he is a monster. Murderer, yes. Monster... not yet.

He could pass for any teenager living on my block that cuts my grass..

Another thing, he turned himself in. That leads me to conclude that he realized what he did was wrong - he didn't attempt to drag it out longer to see if he wouldn't get caught.

Good point.
I imagine his lawyer told him to give it up, based on known evidence.

But I'm not as kind as you; I can see evil in many people.
She broke up with him, and we're hearing that her parents were trying to "protect her" during the relationship.
Maybe they knew something, his friends didn't?

I think I found it!

That's the one!

(I'd fixed my URL -- didn't it work for you?)

 

[lilacwine]

If you look at the body builder page... which shows his progress pictures of his muscular development...

I think roid rage could be attempted as a defense... imo

For whatever reason/s, appears she may have been unable to set him completely loose.

Italicized by me:

District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said Pieper and Watson had been involved in an on-and-off relationship, which Watson tried to end in early October...

Another tidbit on him- he was at SUNY Delhi for at least the fall semester of '08.

I've seen that happen, with friends I knew were in bad relationships.

It seems that they couldn't let go, until they had someone else -- and then, that made BF#1 angry. So they'd go back to BF#1 and say "Oh, but he's going to change." Or, "He's going to take me out and we do fun things together."

Luckily, I never lost a friend to BF#1 - but many have.

Interesting video. The push to quash discussion of Pieper as a suspect apparently came from the Sheriff's Department.

I wonder if this was SP's first show of violence against JLW, or were there earlier hints. My niece was murdered by her ex, but there were acts of violence against her which lead to the break-up. When the murder occured we knew right away who did it even though he initially denied it.
