A man stabbed and bludgeoned his sister and her husband to death in El Cerrito in 2006 because he thought the couple were too liberal, were raising their children wrong and because they hadn't invited him over for Christmas, a prosecutor told jurors Tuesday.
.......
Wycoff agreed with the prosecutor that he resented members of Paul Rogers' family for their liberal politics, and that he thought the couple were at times "too easy" when they disciplined their children.

Peterson said Wycoff had planned to adopt the couple's three children after he committed the killings.

11. comments he made:

"They owe me a life," he said. "This has ruined my life, and Julie and Paul owe me for that."

In a poem, Wycoff wrote, "My sister, I gutted her like a fish," Peterson said.

"And in fact, he did," the prosecutor added, "and he's proud of it."

He seems to be representing himself:

Wycoff's opening statement indicated he would try to justify the killings to the jury, rather than deny he committed them.

At the close of his remarks, Wycoff told the "few fans" in the gallery to contact his advisory attorney, David Briggs, if they wanted autographs.


This trial ought to be a terror. I'm sure Court TV will play it live. What a dreadful thing for this children. This man is nuts.

12. Idon't think Jesus(if he existed) woulda had jack to do w/ this.

Indeed,dude I read about in the Bible would be busy tossing money changers and false prophets outta the temples and churches and decrying the false teachings of the prosperity preachers and 'the God helps those that helps themselves' blasphemers.

6. Monster!

This guy is a nightmare. If I believed in the death penalty, I'd say he was the perfect candidate. As it is, he should never see the outside of a prison cell again.

9. My ex-wife had her kids taken away by their Jehovas Witness grandmother

Obviously she was not a perfect parent, but based on my own observations did not deserve to have them taken away. She was no match for the woman in court, however, and could not seem to jump through all the hoops that the court wanted in order for her to get them back.

Some fundies are way off the deep end.
