Happy Matricide
"You gave birth to your own death," Electra Euripides warned mothers of homicidal maniacs. By and large, society is still shocked when a child kills their mother. The female parent is still, by and large, considered a beloved member of the family surpassed in the love metric by only grandmothers. Still, not every mother is created equal; while some are kind and loving, others are evil and out for themselves. It's all a matter of perception and analyzing their action. 22-year-old Jared Eng thought that his mother was evil, though publicly he denies this because she threatened his inheritance. Would that lead him to kill his mother? Prosecutors say yes and allege that his girlfriend, along with another friend, helped him move the body.

My Review of 'Bad Blood'
I didn't expect Netflix to have a TV series based on mafia gangsters in Canada. Let's face it, no one really expected it. Usually when we think of mafia crimes, we think of New York, Chicago, and Las Vegas. The big profile stories are always based in the United States, especially the true story ones. Although the stories have been made over and over again. I guess they needed new material. It so happens that Canada had a large mafia problem of their own. I'm sure not a lot of people know about the story of Vito Rizzuto. Sometimes they say the biggest gangsters are the ones that no one knows about. That ended soon now that this series has been made. Who knows... Canadian shows aren't ever that popular.

Mean Girl Murder
"In a way, bullying is an ordinary evil. It's hugely prevalent, all too often ignored—and being ignored, it is therefore condoned." What an incredible quote from Trudie Styler. Bullying today has changed from the past. Now bullies can use social media and texting to get their messages across to their victims. Michelle Carter did this with Conrad Roy. She exploited the crush he had on her, and then cruelly taunted him about not going through with his planned suicide. Until he did. Now those insults and texts encouraging him to take his own life have landed the teen a guilty verdict and a sentence of 15 months in jail.

Nursery Rhymes
I don't know what my folks were thinking when they scribbled my name on my birth certificate. It doesn't exactly scream strong and intelligent woman over here, but it suits my job just fine. People hear Indigo Barbie and expect a petite blond bimbo, I am anything but and like seeing the element of surprise on their faces.

Unsolved Murder?
Damien Nettles went missing after going to a party on the 2nd of November in 1996, on the Isle of Wight, when he was just 16 years old.

Pieces of Me
"I specialize in murders of quiet, domestic interest," Agatha Christie said when asked about her books.

All she wanted to do was help her friend, and in return, she was murdered and cut up. Who says friendship is worthless nowadays?
