Cov dab neeg sib txawv tshwm sim
Ib hnub tom qab, Bowman - tus poj niam hluas nyob ntawm Ed Liebzeit lub tsev - tig rau lawv.
Tub ceev xwm tau hnov txog qhov sib txawv ntawm qhov tshwm sim los ntawm Liebzeit, Thompson thiab Mischler.

Wisconsin Watch tsis tuaj yeem tau txais tag nrho lawv, tab sis hauv cov kev tshuaj xyuas, Bowman yeej tsis lees tias nws hnov Thompson thiab Liebzeit tham txog "tua" Schaffer. Hloov chaw, nws hais tias Liebzeit thiab Thompson tau tham txog "kev ntaus" Schaffer.
Ntxiv Liebzeit: "Thiab tom qab ntawd thaum nws los ua pov thawj ntawm kev sim, nws hais tias peb tham txog kev tua Alex."
Qhov ntawd yog qhov sib txawv loj heev raws li txoj cai. Bowman qhov kev sim ua pov thawj pom cov pov thawj ntawm kev xav tua - uas yog tus qauv rau kev ua pov thawj rau kev tua neeg. Nws cov lus ua ntej tsis tau.
Qhov sib txawv ntawm nws cov lus rau tub ceev xwm thiab cov lus pov thawj mus sib hais, Liebzeit hais tias, yog tias tsis yog txhob txwm tua neeg, uas ua rau lub neej raug txim, nws yuav raug foob nrog kev tua neeg tsis zoo, nrog rau kab lus luv luv thiab muaj caij nyoog rau kev tso cai - es tsis txhob tuag hauv tsev lojcuj.

Tom qab muab ib nqe lus rau Kaukauna Tub Ceev Xwm, Bowman tau sau, cov tswv cuab ntawm lub tuam tsev tau txais nws chav tsev so, qhov chaw nws nyob li ob lub lis piam, tej zaum yuav them nyiaj rau kev nyab xeeb ntawm chav tsev tshiab thiab pab nws rov ua haujlwm tom qab poob haujlwm vim muaj kev koom tes. hauv kev tshawb nrhiav.
Liebzeit ntseeg tias muaj cov ntaub ntawv no tau paub thaum lub sijhawm sim, nws tus kws lij choj tuaj yeem muaj kev tshuaj xyuas zoo dua Bowman ntawm nws cov lus tsis sib haum.
Discovery txoj cai 'tseem' ua txhaum
Tab sis Liebzeit tus kws lij choj tiv thaiv tsis paub tias tub ceev xwm tau pab Bowman thaum lub sijhawm tshawb nrhiav, vim tias Biskupic tsis nthuav tawm cov ntaub ntawv, hais tias Kevin Musolf, uas sawv cev rau Liebzeit ntawm kev sim.
Musolf hais tias "Qhov ntawd yuav ua rau muaj qhov sib txawv loj vim tias nws yuav tawm tsam nws qhov kev ntseeg siab," Musolf hais.
Musolf hais tias, "Yog tias kuv paub qhov no rov qab los," Musolf hais tias, nws yuav tau sib cav rau pawg neeg txiav txim "uas yog tub ceev xwm hais rau nws, 'Saib, peb xav kom koj hais tias lawv hais tias lawv xav tua nws, puas yog?' Thiab yog tias tub ceev xwm tsis qhia nws kom hais li ntawd, nws yeej tau txais qhov kev xav vim tias lawv muab tag nrho cov khoom no rau nws. "

Bowman tsis kam mus xam phaj tab sis xa ib nqe lus hais tias nws zaj lus tim khawv tsis hloov pauv thiab nws tau hais qhov tseeb raws li kev cog lus.
"Kev tua neeg tau ua rau ntau tshaj 25 xyoo ntawm kev xav, kev poob siab, kev nyuaj siab, kev ntxhov siab, kev ntshai, kev tsim txom, kev nyuaj siab, kev sab laj, kev ua tiav, kev ua tsis tiav, kua muag, Kev nyuaj siab tom qab, kev zam txim, thiab kev txaj muag," nws sau.

Bowman hais tias Liebziet tau sim ob peb zaug kom nws tuaj nrog lawv mus rau Horseshoe Park, qhia nws tias nws tuaj yeem saib deb lossis kaw nws lub qhov muag thaum lawv tau tua tiag tiag. Nws hais tias Liebzeit thiab Thompson luag thiab tso dag thaum lawv rov qab los tsev. Nws sau tias, “Ib tug hais tias 'tus me f— yuav tsis tuag.' ”
Bowman hais tias nws hais qhov tseeb thaum nws ua pov thawj hauv tsev hais plaub. Thiab nws xav kom meej - nws tsis xav tias nws tau txais "kev nyiam" los ntawm tub ceev xwm.
Nws sau tias "Yog tias Jonathan, James, thiab Daniel tsis tua Alex, ces kuv yuav muaj chaw nyob nyab xeeb ntxiv," nws sau. "Xwb, lub tsev tau dhau los ua qhov chaw ua txhaum cai."
Hauv email nrog rau nws daim ntawv, Bowman tau hais ntxiv tias, "Jonathan tau ua txhaum ntawm kev tua neeg thiab tus kws lij choj hauv nroog thiab / lossis tub ceev xwm Kaukauna tsis ua dab tsi txhaum. Yog tias koj siv ib qho lossis tag nrho kuv cov lus, paub tias kuv pom zoo nrog qhov kev txiav txim siab uas pawg neeg txiav txim txiav txim siab. "
'Classic motive thiab bias pov thawj'
Cov kws tshawb fawb raug cai hu los ntawm Wisconsin Watch thiab WPR pom zoo Kaukauna tub ceev xwm tsis ua txhaum txoj cai los ntawm kev pab Bowman nrhiav chaw nyob nyab xeeb tom qab nws tig hauv Liebzeit thiab nws cov phooj ywg rau kev tua neeg. Tab sis thaum tub ceev xwm tsis ua dab tsi tsis yog, cov kws tshawb fawb kev cai lij choj kuj pom zoo - tus kws lij choj, Outagamie County District Tus Kws Lij Choj Vince Biskupic, tau ua.
Ib tug ntawm lawv yog Georgetown University tus kws lij choj Abbe Smith. Nws hu qhov tsis muaj kev tshaj tawm txog kev pab rau Bowman yog "kev npau taws."
Smith hais tias "Lawv yuav tsum nthuav tawm - lub sijhawm," Smith hais. "Koj tau txais ib tug tim khawv uas pom tau tias, raws li koj tus account, hloov nws cov lus tim khawv nyob rau hauv txoj kev thaum lub sij hawm thaum nws tau txais txiaj ntsig los ntawm tub ceev xwm - tus kws lij choj tiv thaiv tau txais kev tshuaj xyuas qhov ntawd."
Smith hais tias qhov kev tiv thaiv muaj cai paub tias tub ceev xwm tau them nyiaj rau lub tsev so thaum lub sijhawm tshawb nrhiav, pab nws them nyiaj rau kev nyab xeeb ntawm chav tsev tshiab thiab tham nrog nws tus tswv ntiav kom tau nws txoj haujlwm rov qab - thiab qhov tseeb tias tom qab Bowman tau txais kev pab no. , nws cov lus hloov.
Smith hu nws "classic motive thiab bias pov thawj."
Hauv 2017, Jonathan Liebzeit tau foob tsab ntawv thov rau qhov kev sim tshiab raws li, ntawm lwm yam, ntawm nws tus kws lij choj qhov tsis ua tiav los tshawb xyuas "kev txhawb nqa nyiaj txiag" Bowman tau txais. Cov lus tsa suab raug tsis lees paub. Liebzeit thov, tab sis tus thov tsis lees txais. Thiab Liebzeit cov kab lus ntawm lub neej uas tsis muaj peev xwm ntawm parole sawv.
Kev ncaj ncees - tab sis rau leej twg?
Jonathan Liebzeit tam sim no muaj hnub nyoog 44. Nws niam, Sarah, hais tias nws tau siv sijhawm 25 xyoo los qhia nws tus kheej. Nws tau txais painting thiab lauj kaub tais diav.
Tab sis lwm yam tuaj yeem tshwm sim thaum koj loj hlob hauv tsev loj cuj yam tsis muaj kev tawm mus. Liebzeit tau dhau los ua cov ntseeg ntawm Odinism - hom kev ntseeg pagan txuam nrog dawb supremacists. Tus txiv neej uas tua 77 tus neeg hauv Norway rov qab rau xyoo 2011 yog Odinist.
Liebzeit hais tias kev ntseeg "tsuas yog hais lus rau kuv tiag tiag thiab kuv tau raug coj mus rau, kuv twv, cov cai ntawm kev coj ua."
Lub National Gang Crime Research Center tau tshaj tawm rau xyoo 2004 tias Odinists yog ib feem ntawm "cov neeg ntxub ntxaug neeg dawb" ntau tshaj plaws hauv cov tsev loj cuj Asmeskas. Tab sis Liebzeit hais tias nws tsis yog neeg dawb huv. "Kuv tsis yog neeg phem," nws hais. "Kuv tsis ntxub leej twg."
Liebzeit hais ntxiv tias, “Puas yog tib neeg zoo lossis phem, txawm tias tsoomfwv Meskas lossis tsoomfwv lub xeev tau tsoo tib neeg txoj cai? Qhov ntawd puas tseem ceeb yog tias lawv yog cov neeg zoo lossis cov neeg phem? Txoj Cai Lij Choj thiab txhua yam, zoo li, nws tiv thaiv txhua tus, tsis hais koj ua dab tsi. Tsoom fwv yuav tsum ua raws li cov cai no. "
Smith pom zoo. Nws hais tias kev tiv thaiv hauv txoj cai lij choj yuav tsum tau sim ntawm cov teeb meem nyuaj, cov xwm txheej phem - zoo li Jonathan Liebzeit's.
"Nws tsis tuaj yeem yog rau peb cov menyuam thaum lawv raug ntes nyiag khoom hauv CVS," nws hais. "Nws tsis tuaj yeem yog cov xwm txheej nkaus xwb uas peb mob siab txog kev ncaj ncees. Peb yuav tsum sim peb tus kheej nrog cov xwm txheej phem tshaj plaws. "
"Thiab yog tias peb tsis ua nws nyob rau hauv cov ntaub ntawv no, zoo ces peb yeej tsis ua nws kiag li. Peb yuav tsum xav kom txhua tus muaj kev ruaj ntseg tias thaum ib tug neeg raug txim rau qhov kev ua txhaum loj heev, lawv raug txim raug thiab ncaj ncees. "
Muaj ib coda rau Liebzeit rooj plaub. Xyoo 2020, tus kws txiav txim plaub tau pom zoo rov qhib nws rooj plaub thiab rov xa nws rov qab. Qhov kev txiav txim siab tsis yog los ntawm ib qho teeb meem nrog Biskupic qhov kev foob tab sis yog qhov tseem ceeb tshiab raws li kev nce qib hauv neuroscience.
Tus kws txiav txim plaub tau hais tias nws paub tias nws yuav siv sijhawm ntev npaum li cas rau cov tub ntxhais hluas lub hlwb los txhim kho - tshwj xeeb tshaj yog tias lawv raug cuam tshuam los ntawm kev siv yeeb tshuaj zoo li Liebzeit's - nws yuav tau txiav txim rau nws txawv. Tus kws txiav txim plaub tau ua rau Liebzeit tsim nyog tau txais kev tso cai. Lub xeev yog thov rov hais dua qhov kev txiav txim.
Hauv ntu tom ntej ntawm Qhib thiab kaw, peb tshuaj xyuas qhov xwm txheej tua neeg raug foob los ntawm Biskupic uas tau muab cov ntaub ntawv "kev lees paub" tsis meej pem, cov ntshav liab pom ntawm tus neeg raug foob tsis muaj DNA hauv lawv - thiab tus neeg raug foob tus hluas nkauj raug foob txhaum cai rau ib yam uas tsis yog ib qho txhaum cai.
