If the victims were your parents, I suspect you might see it differently.

If my parents were cold hearted enough to screw a 70 year old man out of his life's business and the retirement he'd worked hard for, you'd be surprised at how little my views would change. Would I grieve for them? Sure. But I still wouldn't blame the old guy. These people were creeps who preyed on an old man, and one of them paid the ultimate price for it. I feel about as much sympathy for them as I do for car thieves and burglars who get shot by property owners.

Still, the guy committed a crime, and it was proper that he be sent to jail for it. Given the nature of the crime the victim perpetrated against HIM, however, I think we need to be lenient with this one. Let him go.

I'll tell you what's scary to me.....I think exactly like you on this matter and that is scary!

Well, since a California jury convicted the guy, I think it is safe to say that there is evidence he committed murder. But I have not been able to find any evidence that this was in response to actual fraud or theft on the part of the victims. For all I know, the victims might have refused payment due to fraud on the part of Mr. Lee. I mean, if he can kill over money what is to stop him from lying over money?

"Lee pleaded guilty to the murder and attempted murder charges in 1989 and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole."

Even in sentenceing, it was anticipated that he might be paroled.
