What's new

This is so sick.

At any rate, it's a very sad story - - but there are some very disturbed people in this world. This reminds me of that Texas high school cheerleader story from a few years back, I don't really remember that much, but it was a plan to kill someone to give their daughter a better chance at making the cheerleading squad.

There was also something just in the news related to the three cop-killers on the loose in the far north Chicago suburbs about someone lying about seeing the suspects to get attention from her boyfriend - wasted a lot of resources investigating her false claims. Not nearly as drastic, but similar in motivation.

Tough to know what was going on in his life to make him even consider this at all - and it sounds like he had at least a reasonable relationship with his family. Very, very sad - but I'm not sure the girlfriend should be charged with manslaughter. Maybe an accessory or something, and certainly with obstruction for misleading his family and the authorities.

I don't really know enough about the various categories to say how I think she should be charged.
