I did.

That was just speculation on motive from here on these boards, haven't heard anything definitive at all from any place. Merely a guess.

The oldest motives around (and most viable I think) are, revenge, rage, sex/rejection/jealousy, and money. I don't include mental disease in with it as a motive since I'm not exactly sure that anything stemming from it would be a motive, more of a trigger. Sadly, as much as things change...

One of the first things I thought. I can't really see a teenage boy sliding in a teenage girls window for anything other than... I used to be a teenage boy, they can't think that much different now than they did.

Did anyone else note how many times the keeper of that blog says "this would make a great movie"?

Well, the painted scenario from wavy doesn't make sense at all, and that's being polite frankly I think it's an offensive assault on intelligence. As far as motive from this kid, since we know about nothing other than his name and they went to school together, it's hard to tell without more...

"The letter stated Robert (the 17 year-old suspect) received a phone call telling him to go to Meghan's house to comfort her and that he should climb through her back window. It says he climbed through the back window and there was a white man wearing a mask already in the house. The letter...

Providing that it was him that did the crime (since he has yet to be convicted).... I do hope that he gets an adequate defense, I really do. That way everything will be considered. I would hate for a railroad job to be done on a teenager. As much as we dislike it, everyone's entitled to a...

Too bad Grissom and Warrick didn't get there, this would have been wrapped up ages ago. The wait time for DNA to come back from the state police lab is considerable. The reality of all this is that real police work isn't something that is done over the course of an hour. The actual time on...

He'll most likely end up tried as an adult, though I don't think that the death penalty will apply because of the constraints of it. I'm not a lawyer, but the last that I'd heard in Virginia there has to be more than one victim (meaning more than one murder) and several other criterion that the...

Driving on interstate 95 - Falls Church area is 235 miles, takes about 2- 2 1/2 hours. Pass it all the time on the way to see my parents :)

Through the neighborhood today on my way home from work, all of about 5 minutes ago, I counted 3 unmarked police cruisers and 6 men in suits. Two of these guys were walking down one street, there were 2 at a house talking to someone and there were 2 more that were getting out of a car on the...

I'm sure that person was a police officer. I've never heard anyone that wasn't use the term "on the job".

Sure. I can understand that. I don't disagree 100% either. While your education and training is something that you can take into your own hands though, police officers rely on the city to give it to them. That's why I say it's a budget issue and it lies in the hands of the city managers...

I'm not sure that lack of media coverage is a bad thing. It does keep the rumors down. Besides that I don't know about her family, but I'm not sure that I'd want anything that happened to me or mine like that in the media all the time. I know the current perceptions of the Portsmouth...

Um, not to throw gas on the fire and fan the flames... but I'm a man, and I do read everything I write twice to make sure that it's minimally offensive, as factual as I can find, and I try pretty hard to avoid a know-it-all-*advertiser censored**hole attitude. I even check spelling and grammar. :) Don't let...

There is not a city I have ever lived in that didn't have a problem with crime. When I leave this area, I'm sure I'll move to another city that also has a crime problem. In anything it's always so easy to point out where people go wrong. It's even easier to jump in with what you (meaning...

Actually, crime wise - Newport News is far worse than Portsmouth. This year Virginia Beach and Chesapeake have had more violent crime than Portsmouth.

Which would be a casualty of lowering the standards to get people in that aren't 100% of what they want because they only pay 30,000 a year. It's a dangerous job, one I know I wouldn't do for 30k a year. A perfect example of this is the drug use policy. At one point in time, you could have...

I don't now or ever will I blame people in law enforcement for what their shortcomings are unless it's appropriate (meaning the officer actually did something wrong). When I look at things, operation, time frames on investigations and things like that I tend to look past that and look to what...
