"Defense Tack in Family Killing Promises More Harrowing Jolts" by William Glaberson - NYTimes.com

Kind of downer subject but still interesting as shit to me. So some of you guys remember this horrible story about the home invasion in Connecticut that happened a few years back. Long story short, two degenerates broke into this doctor's home in Connecticut and raped his wife and 11-year old daughter, and then set his house on fire, killing those two and his other daughter. They beat the guy unconscious and left him in the basement to burn but he got out. Awful.

So the first of the two pieces of shit that did this went to court and got the death penalty. Now the second guy is on trial and his lawyer is going dirty. Throwing dirt on the victim's family (not sure how that's possible), raising all sorts of conspiracy theories, calling the judge unfit so he can get a mistrial. Listen I know a lawyer is sworn to zealously defend his client and all, but know this: Way, way, way, way back when ... this is the guy they invented Hell for.

"The Survivor" by Ryan D'Agostino - Esquire.com

Not even gonna lie. I read this on Memorial Day and my throat caught three times at least. This is a profile of that Dr. in Connecticut who's home got robbed and they raped and killed his wife and two daughters and then burned down the house. Awful choice for a beach read. Also the best story I've read in 2011, hands down.

"Neo-Nazi Father is Killed" by Jesse McKinley - NYTimes.com

So this father in SoCal was a huge Neo-Nazi and was raising his family to be racist and love guns. Just training his little kids to be warriors in the impending race war, yeah! Problem was it sounds like he might have trained ten-year old Junior just a little too well, because Junior shot daddy dead as he slept on the living room couch.

p.s. How does the Neo-Nazi party have only 400 members and yet they're still a commonly referenced group? Shit, they're outnumbered by Poopreaders. I need to up my media footprint like now.

The Wikipedia Page on Serial Killers - Wikipedia.org

Hey Poop Readers, so I've been spending a lot of time reading up on serial killers lately for a piece I'm writing for another publication in connection with the bodies being found in Gilgo Beach. Frankly, the research is alternately disturbing and fascinating--and I'd be lying if I said it doesn't make for some very interesting reads.
