The statement of Entwistle's parents of his "innocence" today at his guilty verdict shows me more about how Neil got this way. His parents also believe, despite cold reality, that he can do no wrong. If that is how they raised their golden boy, they are enabling and in my opinion share in the guilt for "creating a monster." The picture of the epitome of innocence, trust, love and peace - the most nonthreatening of scenes - of a mother cradling her infant in her arms - both asleep - being invaded by the violent penetration of gunshots is such tragic irony. So unfathomable that it qualifies as a "sin that cries to heaven for justice."

So he left them both there dead to decompose and rot in an appallingly undignified manner to be found by strangers. And he would have us believe that this is "loving" behavior. He didn't even attend their funeral, but that too was "loving." "Everything he did, he did out of love for them," per his lawyer. Coming from a man who has built much of his life with Rachel on lies (big ones,) why would he tell the truth now? His credibility is seriously in question. Liars don't discriminate - telling lies is expansive and pervasive.

And typical of the pathological narcissist to shake his head as the verdict was read - shame on all of us - we have done his great personage a grave injustice. I am sure he really believes that, too. Now he can go to prison and instead of having "sex with American ladies" he can...you know what they do in there.

Is there an epidemic of extreme self-centered narcissism and callous disregard for human life lately? Scott Peterson, Drew Peterson, Neil Entwistle, now this scuba-diving groom who probably drowned his wife. Is there a moral problem here? Yes, I dare to raise the question.
