He was potentially raped as a child and hid his sexuality. He had numerous head injuries from a young age. Clearly his mind was severely injured. I don't think he's been in his "right mind" for quite a long time. Yes he still pulled the trigger but there's been so much damage...
Me, too. He had an effed up family, and he was a very confused, hurt little boy trapped in a 6'1", 245 lb. body. He had so much talent. The whole idea of completely blowing that $40m contract with the top NFL team boggles the mind - he was given so many chances and opportunities that some like-talented boys only dream about. He was 20 years old, and the youngest singed NFL player at the time. He had no one watching out for him, only people using him, and I think that happens a lot - but they don't go killing people.
What about Odin? He was almost pro.
I feel like the fiance just wanted to use him for the money, be a beard, allow him to go off wherever (his "secret" apartment in another town was just one of his other properties, I think he had a place in Miami too - when "Miami" is raised in this context, it is hard not to think "drugs") and sell and use drugs.....she didn't pull the tigger, but she didn't help anyone but herself (hide evidence much?) The Miami place had drugs and guns everywhere on the regular, supposedly. She should be held responsible, in some capacity.
Reading his attorney's book now, to get another side. Anyone else?
