I personally don't care if he was hung upside down by his toes every day of his life. It is no defense for what he has done. A lot of people grow up in very dysfunctional families and don't turn out to be sycophants who murder.
So, it wasn't sexually motivated then. Even more sickening that it appears to be a thrill kill. UGH

I agree, whatever created this montrous darkness in no way mitigates what he has done. That said, i don't think anyone is attempting to "excuse"AS or his crimes. Part of what interests many of us here, after arrest, is what made the perp who he has become. What factors played a role in his becoming someone so heinous? Maybe, just maybe, if we can answer those questions we can halt this before it ends in the death of a lovely young child.
I haven' t seen anyone trying to excuse AS - only members asking why, how, could this have been prevented?
IMO it is not enough to solve crimes. We as a society need to arm ourselves with knowledge with an eye towards prevention.
