We must all remain responsible for our actions, however provoked we may have been. On the other hand, severe abuse can be regarded as an explantion even if not an excuse. Being hogtied, left in cages, forced into hard labor and being deprived of food qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment. It also qualifies as torture and would be deemed unacceptable even in our most severe centres of incarceration, including Gitmo.
Of course what Sutton did was inexcusable and he must pay for it. But that does not diminish the fact that what his parents did to him was also inexcusable, albeit to a lesser degree. In the end the quesiton remains: Would Sutton have killed his parents if they had never sent him to the 'Samoan paradise'? Nobody will ever know, but the odds are in favor of saying it would probably not have happened.[/list]

A couple of things that were not mentioned but I'm sure were contributing factors to Chris's resentment and anger towards his parents were the gang rapes in Samoa and the fact that his father tried to prevent his release upon his 18th birthday. It's a program for kids but even after he became a legal adult, they didn't want anything to do with him.[/list]

One of the points which struck home with me was less about Christopher Sutton's character, than it was about that of his parents. Seriously, can you imagine being a kid that was gang raped in a program and the parents did nothing? Actually, worse than nothing: they signed him up to stay even longer, technically into his adult years. They must have been so perfused that they were exhaling the Kool-aid!

Ursus I believe you are assuming that he was raped and placed in a cage arent you? I didnt see where this was written or when the parents were notified that their son was raped and placed into a cage. Maybe I missed it.

Troll Control:
Yeah, like we're "assuming" you were crapping your pants when you were locked up with the "big black guys" that made you "so scared." You probably took it in the tailpipe while you were in the joint, Whooter. Only you did it voluntarily.

Th Anne bonney, unfortunately you are wrong. I wish that you were not. I am not the who. I genuinely recall seeing this post. it is extremely frustrating that it appears to no longer exist as it is information that any parent should be aware of when reading this bastard's posts.

Hey, I'm not saying it did or didn't happen and that is damned frustrating. He's the only one who can do that. I was just presenting a theory. I wish there was some way to retrieve it. Have you contacted Ginger or anyone else through PMs to see if there is any chance? There must at least be a Google 'cached' page?? I have no idea what I'm talking about so someone tell me if that's not possible.
Hey. Let's try this.
The Who.....have you ever been charged with lewd and lascivious behavior or child molestation or anything similar? Anything in that realm? This is your chance to state, unequivocally one way or the other what your side of the story is. Or do you not want to 'go on record' so to speak, denying it in case you're proven wrong later? I really have no fucking clue.

Hi Anne, seems I am on the hot seat:
Actually I do have a record...I was arrested several times in Boston and once in Ann Arbor Michigan...I will never forget they separated me from the others for some reason and I ended up in a cell with 5 other people. This one hue black guy who was obviously drunk out of his mind kept falling asleep and then falling off his bench...he would then wake up and look right at me and say something like : if you push me again white boy I will "F" you up so much even your mother will not love you..... I was so scared...

Remember who you're talking to here: a program employee with a loooong criminal record.

I guess Christopher Sutton's dad, John Sutton, was originally from Pennsylvania. There was even an article in the local paper this far north:

Berks native's adopted son found guilty of trying to kill father in Florida
Wyomissing grad shot twice in head; wife slain in attack
By Jason A. Kahl

Berks County native John R. Sutton had little reaction this week after his adopted son was convicted of masterminding the bloody attack that left Sutton blind and his wife dead.
"The whole thing is a lose-lose situation," said Sutton, 62, a Miami lawyer who is a 1965 graduate of Wyomissing High School.
As the trial wrapped up Wednesday, jailers whisked Christopher Sutton from the courtroom. He passed within a few yards of his father, never giving him so much as a glance.
The heart-wrenching scene capped an emotional three-week trial that left family members, jurors and even the judge choked up.
After 10 hours of deliberations over two days, jurors convicted Christopher Sutton, 31, of first-degree murder and attempted murder. Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Stanford Blake immediately sentenced him to three life terms.
The defendant did not address the court or shed a tear.
Prosecutors say Christopher Sutton, wanting his parents' wealth and still smarting about being sent to an abusive reform school in Samoa for 29 months in the mid-1990s, hired a pal to shoot his parents inside their house in Coral Gables, Fla., on Aug. 22, 2004.
John Sutton was shot five times, including twice in the head at point-blank range. His wife, Susan, was killed as she lay in her bed.
John Sutton continues to practice law and do things he enjoys. He is the principal partner at the Sutton Law Group in Miami.
He said he has handled three high-profile jury cases since he was blinded and continues to ski, even though everyone thinks he is crazy for doing so.
He said his story is being featured by a number of national television news programs.
Sutton also said he plans to return to Pennsylvania for a school reunion in October. He said he still has many friends from around here and worked at and managed a number of area pools while growing up on Reading Avenue in Wyomissing near the traffic circle.
During the trial, prosecutors Carin Kahgan and Kathleen Hoague painted Christopher Sutton as a brat who dealt drugs, spoke openly of hating his parents.
Co-defendant Garrett Kopp testified that Christopher Sutton hired him to kill the Suttons. Kopp said Sutton gave him a gun, showed him how to break into the house and gave the green light for the attack.
Kopp was the key prosecution witness. He previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and accepted a 30-year prison term.
