Killer Dad

This is one more story about a man who decides he wants freedom, whether it be for another woman or he's just tired of being married, and decides to kill his wife. What seperates Michael Blagg, who murdered his wife, Jennifer, is that he also decided to kill his daughter, Abby. And if that doesn't seperate him enough from the others, then maybe his religious faith is. As Blagg is interrogated, he clings to his faith stating that "God is giving him peace to get through this" and "It is in God's hands now," all the while avoiding any talk about his internet pornography addiction could have contributed to his problems! While I'm all for one's faith and religion, what Blagg said, while combined with his actions, almost seemed blasphemous! What was most impressive to me, however, was that despite all of the evidence presented (including was mainly circumstantial against Blagg), the jury was able to see the "small details" that had not really been considered by police and district attorney. Kudos to this above average jury for their insight! I did not consider this to be one of Robert Scott's best writings; however, it is still well worth the read.
