This week Kelly and Sam turn over the oft-repeated case of Priscilla, Abigail and William Gustafson. The pregnant 33 year old and her 2 children under 10 were slain in their own home by the depraved 17-year-old Daniel LaPlante. He is better known for his previous crimes of hiding in the walls of a young woman he was obsessed with Tina Bowen. Kelly and Sam discuss the particulars of the case, and turn over the questions: where does mental illness fit in this picture? How does nature vs. nurture come into play? When is it ok to charge a 17-year-old minor with the brutal crimes he has pepetrated?
