they have 3 men/boys in custody for questioning concerning the murder...from what the article says they knew a NFL player lived there and thats why they targeted the house...Sean had a machette in his hand when they burst in the room maybe the gunman panicked or something....they also searched the home of one of them for items from the house...it doesn't look like its a "Snapped" moment yet but we'll see I guess....

So true! I just watched two episodes of this earlier today. It's pretty deep.

The Snapped don't necessarily have to pull the trigger. She could have hired those three to do the job to make her look less guilty, i.e. a woman in Oklahoma.

There was a girl back in my hometown who was with her man. Three men came into the house and killed him. She said they were sitting on the couch when the guys came in, but they didn't see her because she ran into the closet and hid. She claimed since she was in the closet hiding she didn't see or hear anything. She said she came out and her man was dead. She really played the role, especially since she was preggars with the guy's baby. Things just didn't look right.

Come to find out, the men were related to the girl, and she was charged with setting the whole thing up. She was upset because the guy had gotten another woman pregnant and she didn't want him paying child support to her.

That's a dayum Snapped episode if I ever saw one!

Some articles don't mention the machette. The latest one I read about the arrests is that the perps didn't expect anybody to be home. What I don't get is when they realized someone was, why didn't they just leave?

It said Sean locked the bedroom door, so obviously he wasn't going to confront them. But then they kicked the door in. Oh and hiding under the bedding rather than the bed seems a little suspicious to me, too. Afterall they would see the outline of a body in the bed.

Can you call and recommend it? That's seriously a stupid azz reason to have someone killed. So now the baby doesn't have a father around ever because of child support?

yeah I know all these are a possibility but he would seem to be more valuable to her alive since they weren't married yet...it seems obvious to me that the attackers weren't intending to kill anyone or they would have shot Sean again after the leg wound...I don't know, it I'm ususally a critic but this one doesn't sound like a "hummmmm" case to me yet...especially since the house had been broken into before recently...where was the baby during the invasion? I wouldn't have hid anywhere if my child was in a different room and someone broke in, I'm going where my baby is, but maybe thats just me...


ETA: Just read another article on Fox Sports...the police have confessions from 2 of the 4 boys...two have ties to Sean...one use to cut his grass and do odd jobs around the house another was the cousin of his sister's old boyfriend...both had been inside the home, one at a birthday party a couple of months ago...the lawyer of one boy said that they thought he would be away playing not knowing that he was injured and home for the week...they were charged with unpredmeditated murder or something like that...its sad that Sean had hired one of the boys and this is how he was repaid...senseless because 5 Black men have had their lives ruined, one with an early death....

Exactly! The thing is she got off because of the fact she cooperated with the police. In fact, she only served a couple of months instead of the life sentences her family members got.

I love Snapped too! Even though I agree with CT4 on some of the reasons why these women kill their husbands/lovers/etc, some of them are justifiable (like the one who shot her husband because he was raping her daughter and got her pregnant).

CALL. OXYGEN. NOW. :D :p

That's not justifiable. That's vigilante justice. Or as some people would call it "a crime of passion."

It would be different if she caught her husband in the act and was protecting her daughter at that time.

Most "burglaries" occur during the middle of the day, when the expectation is that the home is empty. didn't this occur during the middle of the night....when most homes are reasonably expected to be occupied with sleeping people?

She's the mother of his child so since the child will be taken care of so will the mother.

People don't know how to stake out first prior to committing the crime anymore?

Nope. These were dumb, impressionable children, who have now thrown away at least the next 25 years, if not their lives, for what? Nothing.

I don't consider them children.

Well, she kind of did. The daughter showed the mother a tape of the stepdad raping her. Killing someone is wrong, but I think with that story, you can't totally blame her because of the severity of the stiutation and trying to protect your kids.
