Opinion

This man is the creepiest looking man I have ever seen. In addition, he lived in such a delusional world he thought he could kill his wife and replace her with his step daughter. This is so tragic for the victim, her family and her children. With a decade of prison writing experience, I would bet money he has a god complex.
