Police believe Jonathan Krueger was the victim of a robbery gone awry.
“Thus speaketh the red judge: "Why did this criminal commit murder? He meant to rob." I tell you, however, that his soul wanted blood, not booty: he thirsted for the happiness of the knife!”
It always irks me when the police and/or the media assign motives to the perpetrator in robbery-murder cases like this. Really how does anyone know that it was a botched robbery or a “robbery gone awry”? That makes the assumption the perpetrator or perpetrators did not intend to kill the victim, when the fact is they may very well have intended to murder the victim all along, out of race hatred or class envy, to eliminate witnesses or just for the thrill of the kill. There is certainly nothing to suggest that they did not. Motive has yet to be established, the perps claim they didn’t commit the crime. So the police are being way too generous to the alleged perpetrators of this crime in claiming to understand what their intent was.
