Common problem in America - parents spoiling kids
The author describes the two suspects well. He details their relationship and activities following the murders. A second book by Smith should follow. Didn't anyone see Joel's vehicle parked around the block, the day of the murders?We need to know the final judicial outcome. Also, I would like to know how this has affected the girlfriends of Dana and Joel. Did Dana or Joel ever learn what remorse is?Smith describes Dana as being overindulged with a Mercedes, etc. Since his mother had a "career", she supplied Dana with all kinds of money. It obviously was the wrong kind of attention any child needs. Although, Dana Ewell made the ultimate "choice" to do wrong.
