I feel so sorry for both families...The brothers did the right thing...

If he killed my sister, he'd be dead right now.

"When it was all done, he said, 'I never felt as relieved or miserable at the same time.' It's a terrible dilemma for him to be in."

Yeah? He hacked up his wife.

I'd say she got the worst part of the "dilemma".

He said he believed Mark Hacking had a psychological breakdown because his wife apparently learned of his lie about having been accepted to medical school.

I feel for the brothers. They did the right thing. But the Dad still hasn't dealt with the fact Mark did this in his right mind. This isn't an excuse. The man is not only a liar he is also a murderer. Something is still weird about this family. A lot of denial or something. They are so close yet they knew so little.

[Don Simmons]

Anyone with even the most vague recollection of recent crime history had to know he was guilty as soon as the story broke.

This lovely little issue begs two questions:

1) HE suffered a "psychological breakdown" because HE lied to his wife about being accepted into medical school?

2) So he kills HER?!?!?!?!?!?!

....and three steps toward an equitable resolution:

1) Strap him down.

2) Insert needle.

3) Push button.

Questions? Concerns? Criticisms? Debates?

I didn't think so.....

Two brothers confront the third, he turns out to be a murderer. How sad. Not only can he not live up to the first two, but they have to turn him in.

Lori is the victim here, may she RIP.

I'm surprised that there are people out there who don't realize that if your life and/or relationship with your spouse is falling apart, killing your spouse will not make things better for anyone.

Okay, folks, let's get this straight...

Scott = brother

Lance = brother

Doug = father

Mark = scumbag murderer

Lori = wife/victim of scumbag murderer (Mark)


Can't tell the players without a scorecard.

My theory is she confronted him on Friday but he smoothed things over with her by saying the school had a mixed up the names or something. He knew he didn't have much time left before she exposed him so on sunday when she fell asleep he killed her. I also believe he wanted to continue this make believe lifestyle and he knew he couldn't continue it with her. I also believe there may be more to the story and that mark may be involved in illegal activities that he doesn't want family to know about.

[OldFriend]

Bless these brothers.

I hope their success is not going to be an excuse for this miserable human being's actions.
