that dude just did something pretty heinous

there is no doubt whatsoever he did it

at this point there is some evidence that it was thoughtfully premeditated (the statement, supposedly from him, that he reconsidered murdering those people because they were so nice to him.....but then did it anyway. that's chilling to me)

choosing to see if my skill exists at such a level that I could get him off?

couldn't do it
