....best bet is to call them "victims".....we have to psychoanalyze what went wrong behaviorally, right?.....must be something in their upbringing, socioeconomic strata, homeless, deprivation, single parent, minimal legal representation and whatever other excuse you want that triggered the heinous behavior.....probably a "really good person" otherwise......unconscionable how we twist the perpetrator into the victim these days......SMH...and now political correctness?.....personal accountability is LONG GONE....
