Fire in upper NW?

I think there's more that we will find out. There had to be at least one accomplice. How would he recognize the man knocking on the door in the morning as the housekeepers husband? They seemed to react pretty quickly by having Savvas call him before he even got around to the side of the house. If everyone was tied up, his accomplice must have known who that was.

Dillion Wint is him. That's where the press got the photos of him

Steffon Wint might be him too who knows - FB posts on both sites are pretty crass & gross (Dillion posts a pic of young daughter & asks which other ladies want 'one of these').

If they try him in DC he will probably only be convicted of something like manslaughter. DC courts are a joke. Look what happened yesterday with "Marion" Christopher Barry. He basically knocked over a bank, destroyed property and threatened and assaulted a bank clerk. And despite having a criminal record, he only got a few months probation! What do you think would happen to someone who tried that outside DC?

yes, you are right. he should get the death penalty. but judging by some of these comments I am sure some think they would be too "cruel".

There is no death penalty in DC. I would be satisfied with life with no parole, but there is the "who am I to judge?" attitude of DC juries to contend with. All you need is some defense bar scumbag asking why the police put a full court press on solving this crime at the expense of SE DC, and you might even get a juror to vote for nullification.

I don't have a Facebook page but...if this guy has a public profile that you all can see, are people he knows posting about the crime, that the police are looking for him, etc?

Someone who knew him or had previously hired him to do something.

If there is a federal prosecution, the death penalty could be a possibility. Kidnapping or arson resulting in death are capital crimes.

Hmmm. This is an interesting point.

Not sure what his privacy settings are, but we can see his photos and status updates from over a year ago. Maybe he changed his privacy settings, but I didn't see any recent posts from him or his friends.

+1000

And those who jumped to those conclusions are DC's brightest, wealthiest citizens?! (shuddering at the thought) Unbelievable.

Your predictably unsuccessful "hate the rich" stance is helping, how?

Nope don't hate the rich at all, just disgusted by those who immediately jumped all over every word the housekeeper said as evidence of her involvement. Also, disgusted by everyone who judges the first maid's husband or the employee who dropped off the cash.

The most critical people on this board are the people claiming to be "disgusted" by those who suspected the maid. I'm disgusted by your disgust. There were many reasons that some suspected the maid, mostly it was she said and did. Yes, we were wrong and happy they have identified the suspect. why are you tripping so hard over that?

Amidst the arguing over the meaning randomn and who is or isn't a racist, I don't think we're making a big enough deal over the apparent fact that uneaten pizza crust provided the break in the case.

Considering the fire, the smoke, etc. that DNA turned up on a piece of pizza is mind-boggling.

Right but he could have been knocking and saying, "Hi, it's me, Mr. Housekeeper's husband. Anyone home??" at the door.

I don't know...I still think all of it was too much for one person to pull off. And when they get this guy in custody I hope he sings like a canary.
