This is about the principle of the matter.
The principal of the matter is that he hid his mother's body for several years, attacked a neighbors son, and (according to the charges against him) attempted to murder the boys father when he came to ask what was up. He also had pipe bombs stockpiled in an ammount sufficient to suggest that he was planning something bad. Speaking on principal it is wrong to freeze human remains in ice rather than give them a decent burial.

And you're just playing straight into the media hype by gossiping about how that nasty nasty man needs to be locked away, because he's obviously a murderer.
He's at the very least an attempted murderer. Personally I find him to be one of the more repugnant people I've heard about recently and I think it was perfectly justified for me to state that he should get what he deserved.

Don't you know to never believe everything the media tells you?
You're picking the wrong battle here. Yes, I know not to believe everything the media said, but, fuck, this guy shoots at people and keeps his mother in a freezer! You're the one who's being a bit obtuse in an effort to try to make a point. It rather reminds me of an article about some guy who thought the moon didn't exist. If you want to be skeptic that's cool but don't be an extremist about it.

shoved loads of circumstantial evidence in there
The evidence against this dude is a little harder than just circumstance. Forgive me for being a sheep but I'm not going to ignore the facts. And the police of course are also doing the logical thing and investigating his mother's death as a possible homicide. Not only is there blood on the walls (non-circumstantial) an attempt to cover up her death (once again, non circumstantial) and a body, but his story dosn't check out either. When he spoke to the cops during the siege he said his mother had been dead for 4 years. Neighbors claim they saw her not more than 2 years ago alive.
I didn't say that he deefinately murdered her, but in my opinion he likely did. I don't automatically assume that Osama Bin Laden was responsible for the september eleventh attacks, I didn't go condemning that anthrax fello when the media named him as a person of interest. However, this guy deserves to be imprisoned regardless of whether he killed his mother or not, so why even argue the point.
