From what I heard on the news yesterday, his attorney is already laying the groundwork for an insanity defense, saying his client (who is being held on a suicide watch) has been "hearing voices."

Insanity my ass. According to news reports, this guy drove the boy to a wedding (though none of the guests remember seeing the child there) and then kept him in his home until he saw that the police (and the Hasidic community) were searching everywhere - then he panicked, suffocated the boy and dismembered him in an attempt to dispose of the evidence.

But I figured the attorney would be setting the stage for pleading insanity. Somehow, I just knew this was where it would all be headed.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
