Maybe now that one victim's dad will finally STFU.
Thanks for the accurate info Denny. INGO beats the news by several hours once again.

Yes, and the affidavit says their expert indicated that the images were consistent with certain years of an Elantra. Since they were taken in the dark, it wouldn't surprise me if they were also consistent with certain years of Honda Civics. Or certain years of.... a list of similarly shaped automobiles.
Me too!
Yeah, the media are dumb***es. They expect TV CSI **** of "enhance" that image to read the license plate... and at the same time, cellphone records come in that match the owner of the car... all in a one hour program. Sheesh!
Absolutely! Stealth intruder at 4am with a KBAR... even if you're alerted, open-handed is not likely to end well even if the defender is equal in size/strength/skill of the attacker. Larger male attacking smaller females... not good odds at all.
It may be semantics, but for me, this is still an expression of ability, not willingness. I can see somebody freezing up and not being able to shoot, but don't envision someone taking in the experience their friends being hacked up, and refusing to use a gun because they're unwilling to take someone's life.
The survivor use of the term "freezing" might be accurate at face-value, or they might be full of it and trying to cover their azzes for some yet-undisclosed reason. I would still bet there's a decent chance the presence of a gun, with no other changes, could have significantly changed the outcome. Freezing is freezing, and a gun doesn't change that. But there's also such a thing as plain (non-freezing) cowardice, which people might not be inclined to admit, and also simply lack of action due to evaluation of circumstances and rational determination that your best course of action for self-preservation is to remain hidden and ride it out. Peoples' (what you're calling) "willingness" and bravery level can absolutely change, based on what they think they're capable of achieving and their potential odds of success. If you're a 240-lb. wrestler who is physically larger and stronger than 90% of the people you've ever encountered in life, you do not look at the world through the same eyes as the typical 120-pound chick. The typical 120 pound chick having a gun won't make her not freeze, if she's a freezer. But it can absolutely alter her bravery and "willingness" to try something.
Keep in mind this is a house that was rented by 5-6 college girls (it was 6 but one left college). The boyfriend was visiting his gf, he wasn't on the lease.
You made good points above...college kids these days are less social than in the past, and don't often snoop into each others' lives. I guess I would expect a lot more screaming and resistance in this type of situation, but again...maybe not unusual?
Yes, and from the timeline (combination of outdoor cameras and cellphone pings once he turned it back on) it took him almost two times the ~50 minutes that 40-45 mile "scenic route" return trip should have taken... likely that extra time was to dispose of incriminating evidence and the murder weapon.
well, that's a terrible excuse.
Catching some whiffs of desperation from those defense statements.
Who is "they"? The defense? Or the news organization? I can see the "randomly drive around at night" as countering prosecution without endorsing the other stuff in this article. Like I said above, the "frustration" assertion actually could be used by the prosecution to help with "mindset".
