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

Not really, because the guy had a huge rap sheet and wasn't being put away from society.

I think you missed the point about the pizza crust. How did it survive intact?

I'm sure it was thrown back into the pizza box. The whole house didn't burn down. looks like the fire was mainly in the little boys room. The three adults were not reported as being burned but being doused with gas.

It's so hard to believe that a single person could manage 4 people at one time.
He had to at a minimum tie up Amy and Philip at the same time. I guess that wasn't difficult. Then overwhelm SS.
But then presumably SS had his arms free to make phone calls. Plus Daron had to monitor these calls exceedingly closely to ensure he wasn't calling 911 or a friend.
I guess at the same time the others were just tied up (or dead). But it still seems like an awful lot of moving parts for one criminal to manage.

The most mind-boggling fact for me is how stupid that guy had to be to order pizza in the midst of a hostage situation! I'm sure there was plenty of food in the fridge if he got hungry. WTF??

The biggest factor tending towards accomplice is the presence of the gasoline. They might have had it at the house, but if not, he had to have brought it with him.

Time and time again these murderes have long wrap sheets and aren't put away. Sad.

The father of Daron Wint, the man suspected of killing a Northwest D.C. couple, their young son, and their housekeeper, had been so frightened by threats his son made to shoot his own family that he sought a protective order barring the man from contacting them for a year.

Maryland court records show that over the last decade Mr. Wint has been the subject of numerous peace and protective orders.

ok, butthat was a decade ago and stemmed mostly from him standing in the front yard or on the porch making threats. he has two convictions one for assualt (6 monthe sentence) and one for destroying property (none for sexual assualt - that is media confusing him with his brother)

he was in the marines and is a certified welder. peopel who knew him say they are shocked. His family was by the accounts of a neighbor normal and hardworking. He isn't a lowlife thug - he seems to have had options in his life. Good god that he chose this option. Leave the damn kid alive and unhurt.

but minus the crust, it went off as planned. he had the where-with-all to put the money on the porch.

Just shows how insane he was. I think you have to be pretty insane to do what he did to that family. 2 pizzas tells me he had friends with him.

I hope this spurs a movement by banks for high-networth individuals to devise code words with clients who call in for money like this.

Knowing the banks, there will be a fee for this service.

He deserves to be put in the mother of all chokeholds. What. else can you say about someone who tortures a little boy and then sets the boy on fire? 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.

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

there is basically a moratorium on carrying out of fed death penalty right now

Tsarnaev was just sentenced to die. They won't follow through?

I feel like the cops would have mentioned it by now if there were more people involved.

Ugh - he is a low life thug. Look at his deeds. That what he has chosen to be. It is even worse because he had options.
