Kind of a sad case in which better social support and community mental health programs may have resulted in a different life for this guy.

I don't think this guy had any malice. Some might argue that his statements to police were just excuses, but his behavior was bizarre enough to make me think this was a guy who was in need of food, shelter, and help; not incarceration. But the DOC is the largest mental health provider in the US....

It makes me think of my former clients/population I worked with. I hope this guy gets the help he needs. The world and the people in it aren't black and white; we all live in the grey. I worked with criminals I'd consider better people than many "upstanding citizens."

The documents state that a Chaparral woman who works as an intern and attends school full-time returned home around 6:00 p.m. Saturday to find Lucero in her master bedroom.

I don't think that that actually qualifies as a home invasion. To be a home invasion, I think that the attacker needs to enter the home while the victim is there.

I don't think that breaking in and then just not caring that the actual resident has come back qualifies.

Home Invasion…directly threatens the safety of individuals inside the home. The intruders may use force or deception to gain entry, and their primary intention is to confront or harm the occupants, often accompanying other crimes like assault, robbery, or worse.

Noodles are pretty threatening 🍜
