[Inspector_North]

ABro seems to think the homemade incinerator was broken up and I agree with her opinion:

[FONT=&amp]What caused Dellen Millard's homemade incinerator to be destroyed? The last time Shane Shlatman saw it, it was intact. Then police discovered it in the barn in pieces

Without seeing the pictures of the (after) homemade incinerator, it's hard to tell if it was broken up, or re purposed. Not sure what the blue piece they described that SS said was not part of the original. Was it a plastic strap of some kind to hold the barrels together? The part about it being partially rusted indicates to me that they attempted a burn of some kind. Most likely DM decided he had another use for it after it failed to burn "Garbage". MOO

There are only a small minority of people in society who would have participated in any of the criminal activities / "missions" and the subsequent cover-ups.
So, by extension, most of us would not find ourselves in the same situation. It is very flawed logic to state we would all do the same.

It takes a special kind of stupid for a person to allow their morals to be compromised by (as RB stated) "a sick, twisted prick" such as Dellen Millard. Although we have seen multiple people who did willfully let the allure of wealth, family money to alter their morals, there are very likely a larger group of (silent, unknown) people who steered clear of him once they realized he was an entitled, spoiled, manipulative, jerk.

In this way, decent people were filtered out, leaving the majority of DM's friends, a minority of society. The vile, degenerate scummy circle of friends DM associated with, the ones who overlooked DM's character flaws and joined him, this "cast of characters" in DM's circle are not representative of society, or the members on this board.

Very well said. This is an excellent and articulate (and on-point) perspective, and very well conveyed.

Millard wouldn't have done anything to the incinerator himself, he simply didn't have the knowledge or skills. He would have had SS do it. Pretty clear that it was broken up and parts were exposed to the elements.

I think that was pretty clear from yesterday's testimony, and Tuesday's for that matter. It was destroyed because it didn't work, simple as that.

No rocket science there.

Right now, as it stands, I am concerned with my style of writing and what it means!
