‘Thrill Kill’ Murder

While I was in Seattle a couple days I was watching Court TV or whatever they are calling it now.  There was an interesting case on and I started watching it a bit.  They named it the “Thrill kill” murder.

At the time I was watching it, the defendant was being cross examined and it looked painful.

According to the article at cnn.com/crime the jury deliberated for more than 10 hours and over two days.

Jean Pierre Orlewicz was found guilty of 1st Degree Murder, Felony Murder and Mutilation.

Here are a couple of interesting points:
* Stabbed Daniel Sorensen to Death
* There were 3 crime scenes
* 1st Crime scene (Garage) Stabbing, Decapitation, and the torching of fingerprints.
* 2nd Crime scene (Cul-de-Sac) Where they dumped the body and set fire to it.
* 3rd Crime scene (River) on the outskirts of Detroit where they deposited the head.

I don’t know about you but how could the defense try this with a self defense case after all that?

It’s cold and disgusting if you ask me.  I can’t imagine what the family went through hearing all this in court.  Of course I haven’t listed out all the facts and views from the court, I wasn’t there but just putting my own words together.  Follow the 2 links below to learn more about this case.
