I'm in Kentucky and would like to know what you can tell me about these places you've mentioned. What was their stated propose and where are they at, as in near what city or in which county; who was the "warden"; Do you know if they are still in operation; and if you are up to it, what day to day life was like there.

Cases like this always make me feel conflicted and depressed. On one hand this guy committed a pretty brutal and callous act and it seems money was at least part of the motivation. So i don't think it is so easily excused. Particularly since it was quite some time after he got out and it was not a spur of the moment crime of passion. On the other hand I dont know why his parents sent him to paradise cove but it clearly it had a tragic effect for everyone. maybe the ends justifying the means mentality reinforced some kind of sociopathy that he was already capeable of or maybe the place created a monster. I note a lot of kids coming out of places like this claim that they became capeable of anything when they hear of cases like this, but then most don't actually cross that line and commit murder. At any rate i feel for all involved in this case including the father. At the end of the day the blood of this family is in part on wwasps hands

Trial Begins For Man Accused In Attack On Parents
MIAMI (CBS4) ? Jury selection is scheduled to get underway Monday in Miami-Dade for the trial of a man accused of arranging for the murder of his parents.
Christopher Sutton is accused of convincing his former roommate Garrett Kopp to break into his parents' home and kill them.
In August 2004, John and Susan Sutton, both 57, were ambushed inside their home at 4725 Orduna Dr., east of the Riviera Country Club. John was left blind after being shot six times with a 9mm gun in his face and torso. His wife Susan was killed in the couple's master bedroom.
The crime went unsolved for months until detectives eventually picked up Kopp through forensic evidence linked to the crime. During questioning Kopp 'implicated' Sutton in the shootings. The two men once lived in the same South Miami apartment complex. Police picked up Sutton and charged both men with first degree murder.
In 2008, Kopp pled guilty to the murder and in exchange for a 30-year prison sentence agreed to testify against Sutton.

Coral Gables murder trial to begin Wednesday
BY DAVID OVALLE · dovalle@MiamiHerald.com
Opening statements are set to begin Wednesday in the murder trial of Christopher Sutton, who is accused of hatching a plot to murder his father and mother in their luxury Coral Gables home.
Miami-Dade prosecutors say Sutton, 31, dispatched a gunman to kill John and Susan Sutton inside their home in August 2004.
The gunman fatally shot Susan Sutton, while John Sutton -- a prominent Miami-Dade civil lawyer -- was wounded and left blinded.
The attacker, Garrett Kopp, 26, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Kopp is expected to testify against Sutton.
Sutton, charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder, is facing life in prison. Trial will begin in front of Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Stanford Blake.
