    As he tells his story, you can see he has the "duper's delight" smile on his face. It's so weird. I want to believe he's telling the truth, but my gut is telling me something different.

    When he went to kill his wife, he never expected that the neighbors would look over the fence and catch him in the act. Once the cops showed up, he knew he was caught and had to concoct a story to save his ass QUICK. I do NOT believe a word he says-he is the type who believes his own lies...and let me tell you, these types of people can come across as quite convincing.

    I actually would buy this. I used to be prescribed a cocktail of Seroquel and Ambien at night. It made me do some crazy things, though not murder anyone, thankfully. Still, I managed to sleep walk to the supermarket next to my house and McDonalds (I don't eat fast food), and make purchases that I found next to my bed the next day with no recollection of having gone there or purchasing that stuff. I found notes to myself on the nightstand the next day written in handwriting that wasn't mine the next day. My theory on that one is that I was writing them with the opposite hand of what I would usually use. I woke up having had dreams not knowing whether they actually happened or I had just dreamed them. Don't underestimate the power of mental health drugs, especially when they're prescribed for conditions for which they were not created, which is often the case when it comes to mental healthcare. Seroquel was developed to alleviate symptoms of schizophrenia. I'm not schizophrenic. I will say that as a child, I also had sleep issues. I didn't sleep walk. But I had night terrors and sleep paralysis. Both of which I still suffer from to this day.

    He is making good money...some nerdy girl starts flirting with him at work. His wife is a good wife but she's not his intellectual equal and she has not aged well. He starts thinking about how different his life could be. He's a smart guy-he probably thought this is the only way he could get away with murder (the sleepwalker defense) so he tried it because remember Henry David Thoreau said “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation,” and he was probably going through a midlife crisis and thought this gamble was worth it. He is risking jail but maybe he thought he would would get something that limited his jailtime due to not being pre-meditated, or maybe he thought-best case scenario-he'd go free and then have it all.

    I think it could be possible for a person to have done this, but that person wouldn't change, put on a band aid, any of that. I used to sleep walk, you aren't thinking clearly when you come out of it. Then, an innocent person pleads, it's an outward act. Scott is defensive and inward.

    He didn't think he would be seen killing his wife, and was "disoriented" out of shock and panic that he was caught by an eye witness. The only thing he could think of was "I don't remember". It seems like the oldest lie in the book- pretend it "wasn't me" somehow by claiming some mental condition with "amnesia". Others have tried this unsuccessfully, their lies debunked by clinicians.

    Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
    Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
    “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted".
    Matthew 23 NIV
    You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
    "If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land."
    And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
    This, then, is how you should pray:
    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.
    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
    "Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway", we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.
    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
    A time is coming and has now come, that the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. God is Spirit, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and Truth; they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    In the New Heaven and New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

    -making fun of others
    -insulting others
