Poor Scott Ping.
Thanks for the ping. Ms Leonida knows how to damn Dyleski with faint praise, lol. Saying no one knew he was capable of such a thing just makes him seem that much more depraved.
Not following all the testimony word-for-word this time or getting to see the trial live, I didn't realize Jewett had gone for the "mistaken identity" aspect of the crime. I suppose this was easier to explain or something, than saying his very first real crime, aside from the credit card scam and identity theft for growing and selling marijuana illegally, was cold-blooded murder.
His "things to do" list indicates his intentions to repeat this over and over unless or until he was caught. Dyleski was a budding serial killer and I'm glad he was caught the first time out.
What's with the teens in Lafayette that they are the most recent murderers there? Dyleski's background refutes the assertion that they are all overindulged, spoiled rich kids. I'm not even so sure it was Esther's kind of warped upbringing of him that made him the way he was - he's just wired differently from most people, IMO, and then was enabled to develop the odd wiring further by those adults in his life who weren't paying close enough attention.
He learned to be quite deceptive and that worked when he was finally refused in getting something he wanted. Poor Pamela was such an innocent victim. I grieve for her family still.
Oh, and that Keane, the prof who commented that Dyleski should be given some "hope" during his lifetime jail sentence, needs a reality check of the first degree.
