In the latest news article of the Cheshire, Ct. home invasion, I found this piece interesting. Here is the link.
I read the entire article in the paper today, but I wanted to focus on 2 parts of this article.
1) He said that "years of pent-up aggression built-up in prison was waiting to be released like a ticking timebomb" and triggered the baseball bat attack on Petit, an attack he committed moments after breaking into the Petit home in the middle of the night.
2) Boasts Of Burglary
In the 40-page letter, Komisarjevksy boasts about his career as a "nighttime cat" burglar, carefully detailing how he would case a house, steal alarm codes, don night-vision goggles and keep fellow burglars at bay until he needed them.
1) Anytime you hear about a criminal case, 9 times out of 10, you'll always hear something about the suspects life, growing up. You'll hear about the hardaches, you'll hear about drugs, you'll hear about how there was no father figure, the mother was on drugs, etc. Do you all feel that all of this really plays a huge part in the crimes that people do? Or do you feel that its an attempt to grasp as straws, by the defense, basically saying that due to all of this, this person had no control over what they did?
2) Sounds like this guy really went thru great lengths to case houses. Night vision goggles? I guess this goes to show, that when you're a dirtbag criminal, and you've got nothing better to do, than sit around, working on ways to break into places, there really is no sign of hope for you.

My Mother divorcing him, was probably the best thing that could've happened. So, I was raised by a single mother, until she met my step father, who I call my 'Father', yet I grew up just fine. No drugs, no criminal record, no murders, nothing.
