Yeah, really. Poor baby he could have stood out in a family of losers. He couda been a contenda.
Two brothers confront the third, he turns out to be a murderer....
The Brothers Karamazov
He might have thought he could keep the lies hidden...but I think it goes deeper...I don't think he wanted to live with her knowing he was not what he pretended, that her not pursuing her graduate studies was on hold because of his fantasy college attendence, graduation and fantasy med school acceptance...
Her knowing eyes were too much and so he closed them...I read another poster say.. "The sound was too loud and he had to turn off the radio"...His "double life" is yet to be revealed... whether he had other secrets...
He has a personality disorder but he is not insane in the legal sense IMO...In Utah the usual insanity plea is "guilty but insane" with a person serving remainder of sentence in jail if they get well in the psych hospital...I don't think he can plead insanity.
That is probably the very first logical statement that I have read about his "issue".
Thank you.I like to probe the reasons, the psychological makeup armchair style of the murderer...not excuses, just the WHY...Most people cannot imagine murdering their spouse no matter how angry or unhappy...Google narcissism..fascinating!
I'd like to think that 99.99% of people in this world could never kill thier spouse. But to think that would be naive of me. I know myself, I could never do it. But I guess in some people there are "rages" that cannot be stopped.
No one is saying that it's not his fault. His brothers said that he was struggling with telling them.
But he did tell them. The family understands that he could face the death penalty. I'm sure Mark understands that also.
This is a horrible thing for Mark's family, but they are still making sure that justice is served for LORI.
I don't care what happens to Mark, or any of his pain, but this story is being relayed by his family.
We shouldn't respect Mark, but we should at least respect his family and what they are going through.
I can't imagine how horrible it must be to know that your child killed a daughter in law that you adore. From all accounts, that's what the Hacking family is going through.
That's still gotta be one of the most awful things you'd ever have to do, turn in a brother. The right thing surely, but still.
Your assertions in #37 and #45 were inquired about in my #52.You ask for a raincheck in 54..
Have you found time to reread the posts and point out if there was truly any tolerance expressed or bleeding hearts for the accused murderer?
I haven't been able to find such opinion expressed. Perhaps you can enlighten me.
Lori Hacking pinglist--if you want on or off, send me a freepmail!
You don't take time to look before leaping to conclusions..
You are free to say anything you please and I am free to challenge it...
You are right. It will take years for these good people to put their lives back together, if they can. And for what? A lie.
I read an article the other night by Enid Greene. She was the Republican congresswoman from Utah from 1994 to 1996. She married a con man unknowingly. Anyway, she said that Hacking lying about his schooling is just the tip of the iceberg. There's a whole hidden life under there somewhere.
She and her ex-husband have been divorced for 7 years now, but she says she's still discovering things about him. Personally, I think there's a lot more that's going to come out about Mark Hacking and his secrets.
