Wow, what a fascinating case.
Nowhere in the article did they describe the mechanics of what it takes to shoot yourself four times at the angles described, while acting out a carefully plotted murder, or whether Justin was evaluated for sanity. If I were on that jury, that's a vital factor I'd be looking at. Not just was this man capable of killing his wife to get insurance money or to get out of an unhappy marriage, but was he capable of the kind of detachment required to plot it out in that particular way?
Here you've got a previously strongly-professed Christian, straight A country boy, who's now busy climbing the corporate ladder, getting rich, and cheating madly on his highly moral and upstanding wife. I want to interview the lovers about whether the affiars involved BDSM. I want to know what is Justin's professed attitude to life and ethics. I want to know what else those internet search records turned up. I want to know from April's younger siblings more detail about what the surrogate parents fought about.
I don't buy it. Maybe he did it, maybe he deserves the death penalty, but they're missing some big factors.
