"Listening to latest recap on Fox about the perps (two "aspiring actors", "satanist") reminds me of the amoral characters in Hitchcock's Rope, committing a crime to see if they can get away with it."
Yeah, something like that. These young men are fairly typical of well-off, privileged kids who think the world owes them something and that they can do no wrong. I think we've all knows people like that. It's just that this trio really picked the wrong targets for their stupidity.
Big surprise waiting for them down the road. Folks in Alabama take their church-going seriously. There will be little sympathy for these creeps.
I swore off watching CourtTV years ago, and usually avoid the True Crime threads on FR just because they get so heated, but I am going to make an exception and follow the hell out of this one. Just wait until their emails and private messages become public!
Besides, I'm dying to find out how the three little sociopaths got together in the first place.
Little sympathy? State prosecutors seem to have bought the claim that it was "joke" (and nothing more) hook, line, and sinker.
