Sad that these two chose to

Sad that these two chose to do what they did. I went to school with David's sister, as David himself was a former neighbor of mine. They seemed like perfectly normal kids to me. He even helped us clean up our backyard when Hurricane Fran hit. Pity.

Some things just run in the family

Where was the parental supervision of these two. Some things just run in the family. Probably both parents are jail birds too. They are exactly where they belong..... keep them locked up for a LONG time.

Before you pass to much

Submitted by cousin (not verified) on Thu, 04/22/2010 - 10:15am.

Before you pass to much judgement on these two young adults, listen to the words of a loved family member who was raised in the same household of these two individuals. They are my first cousins,two loved individuals who would do anything for anyone, who would lend out a hand to anyone who is in need. like my aunt said below, she is a well accomplished individual with a degree as well as their father. As for myself, being raised in the same house by the same strong-minded disciplinarian, I am in college getting my degree in sociology/criminolgy...and will get my Doctor's one day....David who now has TWO daughters was working on his degree when this incident happened and Andre'a was working on her cosmotology license at the same time as this incident accured. Now, both of their lives were destroyed by this bull-**** justice system that locks up individuals for 10 years or more for a drug charge but gives a murderer less than 5. Think of all the people that this incident affected besides these too.Now, PASS JUDEMENT ON THAT!

First off I want to say at

Submitted by Angel (not verified) on Thu, 10/01/2009 - 1:04pm.
First off I want to say at some point there is nothing that a parent can do. They are adults and need to take responsibility for their actions. On the other hand I want to address the fact that I know the family, and no neither of the parents are jail birds. People choose their paths. However, I do agree that they should pay for their mistakes.

It appears that they are old enough to make adult decisions so, please tell me how the parents are the blame for there bad decision? It's people like you that come up with excuses instead of putting the blame where it really lies and that's with the individual.

A parent can do but so much

Submitted by Guest Reader (not verified) on Thu, 10/01/2009 - 10:00pm.
Perhaps the parent did all they can do to bring the kids into young adulthood. I don't know them but I bet they graduated HS, coming from a GOD fearing christian home and their Mom made many sacrifices for them. The only thing she probably did wrong was to do too much for them. They probably should have been living on their own. Now after raising them into young adulthood she has to burdon herself with this mess. The parent should not be blamed for these two. They were adult enough to get themselves into this mess. I didn't know that we still had heroine in this country. I thought that crack and ecstacy were the new thing. I thought that all the heroine addicts were gone - really gone.
