I can hear the wheels turning, can't you?
"I was supposed to finish this audit. I'm so screwed! What do I do?!"
And a little light goes off in her head..."
If I set the office on fire, I can say the fire ate my homework!"
And so the maniacal thinking goes, to the point where the maniac executes (eh-hem) on the plan and three human beings lose their lives. I
almost--and I really mean,
almost--feel sorry for this psycho. I can almost see how this crackpot scheme might have seemed like a viable alternative to being fired. But somewhere along the line, one would think that sanity would have settled in and a trip to the unemployment office would seem like less of a hassle than putting together an arson defense.
That arson defense is now a triple murder charge, and thinking of the pain the families are going through now...I can't even imagine.
