It's not just Andy's life that didn't matter to JM. His own life clearly doesn't matter. Or his kids', or his mother's, or anyone who cares about him. He's damaged them all irreparably. There isn't one person's life who mattered enough to him to stop him from doing this.
The more I think about it, IMO, JM didn't care about his own family either long before he cruelly murdered sweet Andy. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he has caused his own family much grief through the years.
His criminal history shows he is not one who cared about his family even though they cared about him. JM cared about JM.
He thumbed his nose at the law that all felons are supposed to follow. No one knows the criminal justice system any better than felons who have broken laws that put them in the criminal justice system.
He knew it was illegal for him to have any kind of deadly weapon in his possession, but it's obvious JM believes rules, and following laws did not apply to him even before he murdered Andy.
I do hope LE fully investigates where he got his illegal firearm, and from whom. Whoever gave or sold him the firearm should also be held fully accountable. They had to know his criminal background before he came into possession of it. If they did not know, they would have simply told him to legally purchase the firearm himself in his name along with going through the FBI criminal background check required when buying a legally owned firearm. It is a federal crime for a felon to have firearms, and whoever made it possible for him to illegally have one should also be charged, imo.
I'm not sure he had help. He didn't need help in murdering a defenseless man in cold blood, and stealing his vehicle.
He could have showed up telling Andy he planned to purchase the vehicle then, and after the transaction was completed he planned to drive it home. He may have told Andy he would be bringing cash. Andy never knew the man who met him was deadly dangerous.
BUT if he did have help in any form whatsoever everyone who assisted him needs to be held fully accountable too.
I believe all along JM premeditated killing Andy. He knew he couldn't steal his vehicle then leave Andy alive to call the police, and be able to identify him.
If anyone else was involved they too can be charged with murder just like JM. We have seen several capital murder cases where someone else was also charged with capital murder even though they weren't the ones who murdered the victims in a robbery, kidnapping, rape etc. but were in the middle of committing any type of felony with the murderer.
