Todd Zommer
Ah. Todd Zommer.
Where do we start with Mr. Todd Zommer?
I suppose we can start with the fact that he enjoys killing people.
He was planning on killing his girlfriend, Laura, back in April of 2005. Todd Zommer had known this girl for 18 years, they had been dating for 18 months, and were regular church-goers.
Of course, just because he wanted to kill her didn’t mean he didn’t like her.
I had a crack pipe loaded so I could take a hit and then do it so I could be in the right state of mind. Because with Laura, it would have been a little different, that’s why I brought a scarf because she has been good to me.
Todd Zommer bought the perfect scarf and everything, intending to sit her down, have her put the scarf over her face and then beat her to death. Sadly for Mr. Zommer, his plan fell apart when a manager stayed late at the store. He decided to call the killing off and look for someone else to kill.
Enter 77-year-old L. Corinne Robinson, his neighbor.
Late one April night, Todd Zommer walked into Robinson’s home and began the assault, grabbing different items throughout her house and bashing her on the head with them.
He went through about seven or eight items before he got bored and slashed her throat.
That done, Todd Zommer took Corinne Robinson’s car from her garage and drove off.
Police found and arrested him while he was driving her car.
At least he didn’t lie about murdering Robinson. Todd Zommer was quite proud of what he’d done.
During an interview with a female reporter, he said:
You wonder how could he do something like that. I’d do it again. It was kind of fun. I’m not innocent … if I had the opportunity right now, I’d choke you to death.
During that same interview, Todd mentioned that a few hours after he had murdered Robinson, he had randomly attacked a guy walking down the street, hitting him nine times with a crowbar and taking 75 cents from the guy’s pockets.
Ok then.
During his trial, on the 10th of December, 2007, Todd Zommer, when asked by the prosecutor why he had killed his neighbor, had this to say:
I don’t know man. I don’t have an answer and I don’t think I ever will.
Todd kept his sense of humor about the situation, describing Robinson’s reaction to being hit the first time in lurid detail:
She bounced back and said, ‘Oh my God, what was that? And, I said it was your ceiling. And when she looked up, I hit her again.
You may feel better knowing that Todd Zommer has been found guilty and will possibly be slapped with the death penalty.
I know I would feel better about Todd Zommer after personally throwing the switch that turned off his lights.
How do you feel about it?

WTF?
Wow, this guy needs to go NOW!
if I’m going to take a hit of anything it’s going to be to increase my sex drive, not kill someone. He’s just using that to his advantage, or at least trying to. Oh well.
he has no soul.if you tortured him,he would probably laugh.defanately no soul..
agree with no soul. he’ll get his.
If any of you out there get the urge to kill someone just for the hell of it, make sure it’s someone like Todd. You’ll be able to sleep at night knowing you did a public service.
lol, Zach. because that would make you a much better person than him!!!
Before you commit his soul to the devil, ask yourself if you’ve EVER whished ill will towards someone else. Todd is a classic case of someone with a medically diagnosed mental issue where society has failed him. Mentally unstable people should be kept under supervision (e.g. prison). The state of CT knew his condition and chose to allow him to roam free. His stints in and out of jail are testament to that.
it wasn’t mental; it was drug assisted. he said that he needed to take a hit before he could do it. either way, wishing as opposed to acting on is a huge difference.
That doesn’t even make sense. I mean, nothing you’ve said here has made sense, Kevin Gregoire, but that makes even less sense. In fact the only sense I can make of any of your unintelligible comments is that you’re probably masturbating while posting.
Seek help U NEED IT BRO.
Howie, most of these cases are where the mental health facilities have been inadequate. While it looks good on paper to cut mental health benefits for costs, it is actually detrimental to society to do so. Many drug addicts are self-medicating due to mental illness, and drug addiction is an illness as well.
Getting adequate mental health care isn’t for the patient. It is to prevent them from snapping and killing people or raping people or kids.
Most people who are against “entitlement” benefits don’t think enough ahead. This, the Mall shootings, the Church shootings.
We can’t tell the future, but if those people who had SERIOUS and OBVIOUS mental issues would have been confined to inpatient (after they were of age which is when benefits cease)those people might have not even been killed or shot at.
Although drugs did come into play, believe me when I tell you that all they did was lower the restraint to do the things that were already in his head. Todd never had the capacity to wish an not act.
Melanie, I know for a fact that Todd took the drugs as replacements to meds that he should have been taking due to his mental illness. I can also tell you that he reached out several times before the “incident” for help and nobody responded. Can’t all of those people be held partially responsible as well?
Exactly why is cruelty considered a mental illness? I grew up with a father who was a paranoid schizophrenic, he was never abusive physically. His was a truly text book case, but wasn’t diagnosed until his late 30′s. Mental illness has become a very easy way to categorize people who commit acts we don’t understand. But people can be simply cruel and selfish. Why can some people steal, commit fraud, sell drugs, or rape someone and feel little to no remorse? Are all these criminals mentally ill as well. They victimize people too.
Just because he is a drug addict is no excuse either. Addiction usually just amplifies a persons true nature.
Also, being mentally unstable is not the same as being mentally ill. Mentally unstable infers that there is a “trigger” and that person may do things in the heat of the moment. As far as I can tell, this man planned his attacks. If you watch the interviews with him, he is as calm and very matter of fact. I know there are all kinds of mental illness, but this seems to be a case of just plain old cruelty.
There are two criteria by which a person may be found not guilty of a crime by reason of insanity. One is that the person didn’t understand the nature of the act. The other is that the person had no control over his or her actions. Clearly neither applies here. Todd Zommer made a choice, and he knew that that choice was against the law and would widely be considered wrong, and he acted anyway for no reason other than that he wanted to. To cite this as an example of crime resulting from mental illness is to do an injustice to those whose illness really does drive them to commit violent acts through no rational fault of their own, as well as the much, much greater population of mentally ill who are law-abiding citizens. Todd Zommer is evil. Todd Zommer doesn’t deserve your compassion. Todd Zommer doesn’t even WANT your compassion. What he wants is the opportunity to brain you with a crowbar. Save your compassion for the victims.
howie…are you seriously trying to blame other people for what he did??he was born with no feelings,heart or soul.he is just skin and bones with nothing inside…i will jump for joy when he dies…
this guy is way ready…he knows where he is heading ….he is an ass
I understand ur frustration Mandy…He is awful…
he is not just skin and bones to say that u sound “dumb” Bad comes in the form of all of us. They dont think like us…
Imagine how that girlfriend must feel, knowing she escaped death like that!
Here’s a question for all of you, what if Todd were family? What if he was your brother or son, how would you feel then? What gives any of you the right to say whether or not he’s evil or that he deserves to die without knowing all of the facts? Who do you people think you are? You don’t get to decide. This is a crazy world we live in, and you don’t know anyone. So before you condemn Todd to hell you should give that some thought, and I guarentee your opinion would change. All of you are complete strangers to Todd who obviously have nothing better to do with your time than to judge someone else’s life. Todd has real problems unlike yourselves. He did not wake up one day and say “Gee, I think I’ll kill someone today.” He has struggled all of his life. He is not the monster he’s portrayed to be.
You are so right. I do need to go off and think about this….
Thought about it, and i still think the fucker needs to fry. Bashing someone to death is not the act of a good person. Yes he may be outta his fucking mind, god knows normal people dont go around bashing strangers for 75 cents….but he still deserves to die.
If a member of my family did something like this, I’d be on the phone with the district attorney offering my testimony for the prosecution, then contacting the victims’ families with my condolences. I love my family, but my principles come first. If David Kaczynski had thought the way you do, his brother Ted (you know, the Unabomber?) might still be mailing deadly packages to innocent strangers.
How do you know that he didn’t wake up one morning and say, “Gee, I think I’ll kill someone today”?
I’m sure that if you ask him, he’ll freely tell you.
After all, he freely told that reporter he’d love to kill her…on tape.
I’m a personal long time friend of Todd’s. He was one of the first people I met when I moved here to Florida. My parents adored him, and he was always a good friend. Todd helped me through a lot of troubled times, and he also had his arms open, and his shoulder for me to cry on. He was always the first one to make peace, and to not start trouble. He could make you laugh until you couldn’t see straight. I do know for a fact that Todd had a very troubled childhood, and full of abuse both mentally, and physically. Later on in life he substituted his upbringing of this physical and mental abuse with Drugs to heal his pain. Todd used my shoulder to cry on as well as my parents about the physical and mental abuse he suffered as a child, and wanted to know why he was singled out like that. The Todd that I know, that was not on Drugs would never ever think about doing what happend. I’m sorry for the family that he hurt, but this was not the person that I grew up with, and my parents basically adopted him. I agree that he should pay, but sometimes the saying an eye for an eye is not always true. I think he should live with what he did, and have to think about why he is in prison everyday, and not to die. I loved Todd as a brother, and still do. You people that are posting here about someone and something you do not know personally should think about if this was someone in your family or friend that you loved and he loved you. He is not a souless person, he does have a heart, and he does have feeling. The coldness that the media is portraying is his fear for his life. You see what the media is telling you. I know the person prior to his drug addiction, and I know that he would not have done this if it wasnt for the drugs.
My siblings and i also suffered terrible mental and physical abuseas children. Three of us decided to move ahead and not let it rule our lives. The other, my brother, suffers terribly with mental health issues that i think have been brought on by his childhood. He has tried and almost sucseeded many times to end his own life. HIS OWN LIFE…not someone elses. He takes his meds and see’s his mental health worker every day. When he gets to a certain point where he knows he is going to have a really bad spell…he checks himself into Graylands ( mental institution) He takes responsibility for himself and as his family we give him unconditional love and support.
And he hurts no one. ( other than himself)
Todd crossed that line, and he deserves everything he gets.
Its sad that you all have to suffer the loss of someone you love…but so do the families of the people he killed.
it was premeditated.
and eye for an eye is the only way.
he said he wanted to kill his girlfriend.
Society is so quick to judge. As I am not saying that what Todd did was and is justified. He himself realizes that- however, he has been diagnosed with Bi-polar and if anyone has ever done any research on this horrific mental illness- I think you would all see differently about this case. It is obvious that when the murder occured Todd was in a manic state- and statistics show that when an individual with Bi-polar is in this state- anything can happen. Mental illness is an illness that is stigmitized- if Todd had terminal cancer – I am sure that this situation would be looked upon differently. Todd has been suffering for a long time- hurting and in pain. If he had a broken leg- people would outwardly know he was in pain. WIth mental illness-it is a silent pain-
I just wish and hope that noone on this board or anyone’s family members would ever have to feel or see someone they love in so much pain- silently.
See my response to the post below yours.
For those of you who don’t know what bi-polar means…it’s a horrible emotional rollercoaster. Extreme highs and extreme lows…when accompanied by a drug addiction it worsens the condition severley. You have suicidal and homicidal thoughts…Almost like you are being driven by some unseen force to commit such acts. If you are going to judge my friend, my brother Todd, then you are no better than he is if you are looking at him as a killer. Who are you to say and condemn someone to death who IS ill like this. As I said before, I love Todd. Always will. Never dated him or anything like that. He is my neices father, he is my friend, he is my family. Put yourself in his shoes and my family’s. Bi polar disorder is nothing to joke about. If I could’ve testified on Todd’s behalf as a person, I would have, and I would have said nothing but good things about the man I know. You see and hear what you want…but I know him and I know what I know. If you knew him, then you would feel the same way as my parents (who took Todd in) and the same way as I do. Todd is not the monster you think he is. Drugs and disorder are the demons here. God forgives all. Even Todd, why can’t you?
Oh for Jesus Christ Our Lord’s sake. I am also bipolar – a bipolar 1, the worst kind, primarily manic, rapid cycler. Attributing the fact that this turd killed someone to their bipolar illness is preposterous and insulting to those of us who have suffered with this disease for a lifetime. Sure, you’re crazy. SO WHAT! THERE ARE PLENTY OF CRAZY PEOPLE WHO DON’T RANDOMLY KILL PEOPLE! Like me! I’m a mother, an executive administrative assistant to the CEO of a $75 million company, and function at work and at home every day courtesy of medication that I take religiously – NOT JUST WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT. Before you go spouting off your ignorant condescending bullshit excusing this freak for killing people and loving it by stating, “Oh, POOR HIM, HE’S BIPOLAR!” perhaps you should speak to some bipolar patients who know better. Please don’t offend the rest of us with that patronizing fucktardian opinion, especially us sufferers of bipolar disorder who AREN’T SOCIOPATHS like TODD! Right here is where I can tell you I’ve been there, I’m there now, I have all the t-shirts, and you should SHUT THE FUCK UP.
The disease doesn’t make people violent, it just removes the impulse control from people who already want to do terrible things. They are already violent, and he’s probably acted out his violence before on a smaller scale.
My ex was violent and bipolar. He used his illness as the excuse for crippling beatings and a rape. But it wasn’t the illness that did it, it was him; he used what he could as an excuse so he could continue being as violent as he liked.
And if that’s what this man is telling all of you – that his bipolar caused this, then that’s exactly what he’s doing to you. He’s making an excuse so he can get out and do what he wants to do.
It’s terrible he was abused. You can weep for that child and still see the man for the monster he is.
For all of you who say “Poor Todd” I say what the hell is the matter with you? He is NOT the victim here! You say no one understands until it is their loved one who is on trial for their life, what about the life he took? How is that family to feel? I personally know the victims granddaughter, she is a very dear friend of mine, and I was with her the morning she got the news of the unforgivable and inexcusable act of violence perpetrated against her grandmother. I can guarantee that nothing done to her was deserved. This man does not deserve to live; he does no deserve this attention. If this person has all of these disorders, then fine kill him and put him out of everyone’s misery. I personally don’t want my tax dollars supporting this murdering piece of trash for the rest of his life. For all of those who love him so, I ask what would you do if he tortured and murdered your grandmother. I am sorry for all of you who may have known a different side of him, but at the end of the day there are consequences for crimes, and the death penalty is nothing new. He committed the crime and he deserves the punishment for that crime, and he can not be forgiven when he has no remorse, he has been in jail for a long time, but still he is so cold and finds his actions laughable, he can’t use the drugs as an excuse anymore. The fact of the matter he is a psychopath and deserves everything he gets.
For all the cockroaches jumping out to ‘educate’ all us poor ignorant people about ‘mental illness’… in this case it’s Bipolar, is it?
Did it ever occur to you that we do actually know quite a bit about many different mental illnesses? That we might actually have had lots of experience dealing with people like that, or have even been victimized by people like that? Or have family members who deal with it?
A little less condescension might be in order. As well as some understanding that it is very possible to know everything there is about every mental disorder there is— and still have nothing but contempt for people who abuse and kill other people, regardless of the excuses their friends and families make for it afterwards.
I doubt your efforts to ‘educate’ people on the amount of sympathy people should show to mentally disordered people who choose to kill would be appreciated by the family of the elderly neighbor he bashed to death for fun.
And, to the friend- I’m glad you liked said POS before he chose to use drugs instead of getting mental help, and that you think him having had a hard or abused childhood excuses his crimes. I’m going to guess that your family is not a mess? But you say your family pretty much adopted him? So he chose not to emulate the healthy behaviour your family showed him?
I am glad you were friends. I’m also glad you weren’t really THAT good of friends. Y’know, the kind of friends he might have ‘bought a scarf’ for… because you’d been so good to him.
Do you guys even read how your defensive responses here come across before you push that ‘submit’ button? Or how offensive what you’ve written would be to the surviving families of the victims of these POS murderers?
Of how you would feel reading someone defend the POS that killed your Grandma just for kicks, saying they enjoyed it?
If this POS is ‘not the person that YOU knew (as all murderer supporters here claim), then you should really feel no guilt at all at cutting loose this POS loser that is not the person you knew. Keep your fond memories, dump the POS.
c
if you knew quite a bit about Bipolar then you would not be posting such an irrational post about this case.
As people have stated (in case you havent read)- Todd’s actions are not being justified- if you have read the stories and have watched the short videos- HE HIMSELF has stated that he does not know why he did it.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS- when he committed the crime- HE WAS IN A MANIC/MIXED STATE-
Lets break it down…
Accroding to the DSM-IV (do you even know what the is?- you should if yo know so much about mental illness)
“It’s also possible for mania and depression to be present at the same time. In this mixed state, people experience combinations of agitation, disturbances in sleep and appetite, suicidal thoughts and psychosis. Psychosis is a major mental disorder in which the personality is disorganized and contact with reality is impaired, often including auditory hallucinations and delusions — firmly held erroneous beliefs.
If you were all so smart and educated on mental illness- you should all be able to now see the whole big picture- Todd was not Todd when the crime was committed!- FACT-aske d now (not being in a manic state) then why would Todd agree that he deserves what he gets- and knows he needs to pay the consequences for his actions. If he was not mentally ill- and was not in a manic/mixed state when the crime occured- then he would not agree he deserves punishment.
and Yes- believe it or not- my heart does go to the family members who lost their mother, grandmother, aunt, sister- he death was and is a HORRIFIC way to die
As a bipolar 1, right here is where I throw the BULLSHIT FLAG. Todd is a FREAK OF NATURE that DESERVES THE DEATH PENALTY.
If Todd was not ill, he wouldn’t think he deserves punishment? That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
Here’s another FACT for you – someone can be bipolar and also be an evil sociopathic murderer. Sometimes you get more than one kind of potato chip in your bag.
someone who cares….
who are you to say we don’t have problems.
Everyone has something wrong in their life, you ignorant retard
ECHO – Fire me off an email at hrunyon@sbcglobal.net if you can. I’m Todd’s brother…
“I had a crack pipe loaded so I could take a hit and then do it so I could be in the right state of mind.”
What were you saying about bipolar?
I read that quote to be pretty clear that this POS was not suffering a ‘manic state’ that ended with murder… he intentionally altered his own state of mind AFTER he decided to kill someone. Meaning, that he knew he probably would not kill unless cracked out, and so he purposefully CHOSE to alter his own mind in order to do it.
That, my friend, is not bipolar.
I do believe that SOME people have mental disorders. I also believe that too many people are being being diagnosed with mental disorders, same as too many people are dosing their kids up with ADHD drugs for being normal rambunctious kids.
I especially don’t like the trend of murderers claiming mental disorders as an excuse for a lighter sentence.
And, I do know a little something about mental disorders, as my little brother struggled with it for years. He stopped struggling with it on Thanksgiving day 5 years ago, when he hung himself from a light fixture and killed himself, leaving a wife and 4 children. I’m still angry at him, because I loved him a lot, but at least he didn’t take out other people with him.
Just so you know- as others have said, it is presumptious to assume that nobody else knows anything about mentally disordered people.
c
It is unfortunate that so many people rush to judgment about mental health only after tragedy. The problem lies not with the outcome of lack of treatment, and society’s hesitation to understand mental illness, therefore perpetuating the ignorance of it. Only when there is a social impact and tragedy do people speak up.
It is well known in the treatment community that mental illness is a condition that carries with it a great deal of stigmatization. That negative stigmatization also allows people to make judgments not founded on facts surrounding people who suffer from mental illness-the patient AND their victims.
The Diagnostical Statistical Manual clearly defines bipolar disorder with suicidal/homicidal thoughts or actions as a mental disorder in need of intensive, long term treatment. In a perfect world, this is an accessible option. Unfortunately, lack of healthcare, resources, access, and viable treatment options make this more of an impossibility rather than an option. People with severe mental illness “fall through of cracks” of treatment opportunities due to many factors, such as de-institutionalization, lack of access to managed care and/or restrictions so often placed on treatment by insurance companies.
When the person with mental illness than exhibits symptoms of their disease, then society becomes appalled at their behavior and blame the person, not the illness or the lack of resources that prevented treatment.
The unfortunate reality of the above mentioned issues is that prison becomes the only system for people with severe mental illness, and more often than not, their conditions remain untreated.
A broken leg, sinus condition, …even a headache is given more consideration than mental illness.
The result? Tragedy. The loss of life. Had this patient killed himself rather than someone else, there would have been an absence of outrage toward him. However, his disease resulted in the loss of an innocent life. The outrage is justified, yes- but not at the patient with the disease, but the lack of concern, ignorance, and failure of the system for treating severe mental illness that far preceeded this case.
Had this piece of shit killed himself we the taxpayers would only had to foot the bill for a shovel. cardboard box and a hole. Now were stuck with a trial, confining him in prison, feeding him, guarding him, bathing him, providing him with medical care… We, society, wish he had killed himself instead… And I would be very happy with that outcome still…
Yes, I support POS’s self controlling themselves with TurtleMania’s GPS System… 10,000 years and not a single POS has been lost when tracked and confined with TurtleMania’s GPS System.
I can say with almost 100% certainty that the family and friends of his victims dont give a shit about his disease, the failure of the mental health services or anything else for that matter. They only care that their loved ones are dead and would gladly supply the noose needed to finish off Todd.
Dr. C:
Frankly, as a bipolar 1 rapid cycler who seen at least ten different psychiatrists in their lifetime, I’ve got to tell you right up front that shrinks are some of the weirdest people I have ever met, and that includes the PATIENTS committed to the mental facilities I have been interred in. The fact is that people get well when they decide to take their meds and work towards normalcy, instead of buy crank, drink booze and sink into their disorder, and all the counseling and pills you throw at them won’t change that in the least.
You guys don’t get it. Dr C is a doctor on the internets and he knows all these things.
Me, I’m just a loudmouthed sofa sectional on the internets. If only I’d gone to Dr C’s internets skool!
I call BS.
Any whack-case can decide to stop taking their ‘medication’ at any time. The fact that they make this decision WHILE they are still on medication tells you how well medication works.
I am sick of the blurry line attys have created regarding supposed mental illness.
If they are not crazy- DP.
If they are crazy, lockup /committing for life.
Big Pharm is just as guilty in all of these cases, for promising that their junk medications are the magic pill for all that ails mentally ill people. It seems pretty clear that there are some people with no violent or criminal tendencies who are able to be decent human beings with medication.
The murderous, molesting, killing types… not so much.
I reserve the right to be outraged at a person who admits that they purposefully took drugs in order to enable them to murder people. Sounds pretty premeditated and sane (though sick) to me.
The problem with bleeding hearts who don’t want supposed ‘crazy’ people executed or locked up for life is the fact that they believe that the so-called crazy person can be rehabilitated.
Make up your effin minds. If mental illness is a disease, it’s not likely most perps will ‘get better’ ever, any more than cancer patients are expected to just ‘get better’. But it would be ‘cruel’ to commit them for life. The ‘every bad behaviour is a disease’ people annoy the shit out of me. They are nothing more than apologists.
I am as sick of the ‘he is a great guy, he is innocent’ camps as I am of the ‘He’s not responsible because he is borderline retarded, or bipolar, or mentally ill. (Or the ‘I choose the newest cock over my children’ loser moms).
Downs syndrome people- yes, treat them lightly.
All the other abusers/molesters/murderers… please get off the tard bus.
c
I agree with you, and reserve the right to be outraged as well. Outraged that there are no services for people with mental illness, whose prescribed “treatment” fails them and they turn to illegal drugs to medicate their symptoms.Outraged that mental illness is allowed to be used against people who want to work, secure housing, live a life, and in most cases, get the kind of structured, secure, long-term intensive treatment in which to MANAGE symptoms, if rehabilitation is not possible.
Self-medication is commonplace in mental illness. Over 65% of people with addictive DISEASES also deal with co-occurring mental health disorders. In the case of severe mental illness, this also applies. When people with co-existing thought disorders also medicate with illegal substances, the result is often what’s termed a psychotic break- typically when the person is NOT under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Decision making, judgment, and the perception of reality are grossly impaired. Thus, the patient’s thoughts and behavior cannot be judged on what a so-called “rational” person may deduce to be reality.
No bleeding heart here. No exuses being made for tragedy. No one is asking for pardon or even suggesting that crimes be ignored because of the circumstances. The very basis of our legal system is based upon that premise. What is not suggested but required, is for people to think twice about the dangers of ignoring mental illness and substance abuse disorders, and lend their angry voices to help PREVENT these tragic circumstances, by advocating for proper care, attention, adequate pharmaceutical treatment, access to qualified substance abuse treatment, specialized facilities, and comprehensive health care plans.
I have tertiary syphilis.
FRY HIM!!!!!!!!!
Pure evil is what i’m thinking……this guy is pure and total evil..
none of you know what the f!!k you are talking about! i was his cell mate he was an alright guy!
Hahaha, of course he was. “Gosh Todd, your a real nice guy,” says one con to the other…
I’m just so tired of people using “mental illness” as an excuse for killing. So what if he was mentally ill? So what if “didn’t know what he was doing?” The fact that he still committed this act (murdering an innocent because his girlfriend and intended target wasn’t around then beating a random stranger with a crowbar), and freely admitted to it, means that he should face some punishment for it.
And since this is not something minor like speeding or breaking a dish, I think the punishment should be a bit more severe. Bottom Line.
I hear you. I am tired of my rights, the victims rights, the person walking down the street minding their own business- all of our rights being put second to pedophiles, criminals, murderers. What about our right to go about our lives without being in fear? I have had bi-polar, depression, alcoholism, all of that in friends and family so yes, I am not unsympathetic to mental illness-but if someone has homicidal tenancies, someone refuses to take them meds, someone is a danger to society then they need to be locked up where the will not harm anyone else. He did know what he was doing-his actions showed an awareness of planning, picking out victims. The pendulum for civil rights for criminals has swung too far in favor of the criminal. The victim had rights too, damned shame they were not as important as our “poor mentally ill victim of society, drug companies, social policy-sarcasm intended”
I think a one way ticket to a early grave I have hopes before he is put to death that he suffers a little but no one will hear my plea,
B.I.H you murdering scum-bad
Burn In Hell
Turns out this monster was my brother in law, although my now deceased husband would never allow him to come anywhere near me or my children.
I know there were reasons beyond his control that turned him completely off towards females, because my husband did as well. His family (who has posted here) has stated the obvious pain the boys endured at the hands of their mother, which is a cause but definitely should not be used as a crutch. Todd should pay for his crimes, as should anyone who has done those things.
I endured much pain by my husband many times, which eventually led to our separation, although I never stopped caring or loving him. Upon finding out about the death of my husband almost two weeks after his family had removed his body, did his family attempted to make any contact with me or my children? NO. or have they once called or written to contact me to maybe see how we were dealing with his death? No. Shouldn’t we have gotten notice of his memorial service?
Whether we were separated or not, I still had a right to know what was being done with his body. I don’t blame them 100 percent for that. The law enforcement agency was at fault as well.
Spewing stuff about family family family… they also did not attend our wedding, nor did they call more than a handful of times during the time that we were together.
Be a family to them while they are here not when they are gone. Holier than thou does not fly with me, which is probably why I never met his family and why he would not return to Connecticut.
Todd Zommer deserved what he got, his own BIOLOGICAL brother said so many times. You do the crime, you suffer the punishment. He admitted to the crime multiple times, he knew he was guilty.
Now let’s move on.
Thank you for showing the side of his supporters I was expecting to see. Of course the family wouldn’t tell you, you’re the “bad one” right? The one who tried to get him to seek help.
