I agree with the review by the person who wrote about having to skim through 20% of this book, but I won't be so kind. It's a very interesting subject, and lucky for the reader, the killer's mother was decent enough to talk to him; because without her input, there would be a lot less insight into WHY the killer was how he was. I agree completely regarding the system's many, many failures, and I also think it shows the "nature v nurture" theory. I don't think this young man was a psychopath or a sociopath. He was damaged almost beyond repair. However, if he had caring mentors, teachers, stepparents, friends (which he did for a while), that family may be alive today. It's difficult to describe a worse childhood, although I am sure there are. His Mother's insistence that she "!oves all her kids" rings so hollow sometimes. I give her credit for her honesty, but not much else. I was a Mom when I was barely 16, and my own childhood was not so great, but Jason's Mom and her horrible choices cost three innocent people to die in a gruesome beyond belief way. Getting that out of the way, and thanks to untiring police work, the case finally got solved. Why was that boy not put in a Foster home? So many questions. The author seems to spend a lot of time driving his car somewhere and running his own theories through his head, and seems SO upset he could not get in the courtroom to hear the sentencing and the victims impact statements. READ ABOUT THEM, THEN. This young man should be in a mental hospital for a VERY long time, not prison. After all is said and done, the author should have wrapped it up. I agree about the DNA database, and this author said President Obama did too. Then, Mr. George goes on to write that although this young man was called "the worst of the worst" by the judge, he really wasn't, BUT GEORGE BUSH WAS! WHAT? How in God's name can he piece together a senseless murder and the war on Iraq? I don't care to read his political views, which I find idiotic. Like, George Bush would NOT have supported a national DNA database? Of course he would have! The way Gray George decided to end this book is ridiculous. I recommend the first part. Skip PART TWO. Absolutely unnecessary and a waste of time. He needs to get off his high horse and write about the case, and why it happened. His practically non stop opinions are just that. Opinions. Nothing to do with what happened. And by the way, Davina Husted was 5 months pregnant, not nine. While it's still horrible that the child never got the chance to live. And again, TWO people agreed to speak to this author. The Mother of the killer, and the DA, but he said little. Even the killer would not talk to the author. You'll read a lot of "my attempts to interview--------- went unanswered." Not surprising.
