Maybe that whole bully story was fabricated to win over our sympathies?

The show often hinted at Will's criminal background, though I never imagined it to be so quite so heinous... But it adds up, doesn't it.

- Mentally disturbed youth with a lack of parental guidance ("On a playground is where I spent most of my days" ... this is a CRY FOR HELP, people)

- Constant references to delusional Arthurian power fantasies (which we've already uncovered in this post) make Will seem superior and disconnected from reality "Prince...Throne...Kingdom"... it all fits the profile

- Obvious disdan for cabs/cabbies ("Smell you later")

- Kid shoots a cab/cabbie, maybe SEVERAL of them, Mom calls on rich, influential family member to cover it up (Uncle Phil most certainly had the means to do so)

- Another added bonus: Not many cabs in Bel Air, reducing the likelihood that Will would do it again
