    I remember highschool people saying that. It was only the kids family, and the bullies and drama whores (that don’t know him,)

    The fiends all said he was bullied and his home life wasn’t so good.

    That his lawyers are saying it is more meaningful than if his family was.

      Why is it more meaningful coming from lawyers then from family? I don’t follow

        We generally don’t see all the warts in the people closest to us, and family is more likely to want to put an idealized version of people out there.

        Look at comments by parents of active shooters, to the effect of “I didn’t raise a monster, I don’t know why this happened,”.

          I agree with you here but you didn’t say friends, you said lawyers

            Are you seriously not seeing why professional contacts would be more likely to have a fair opinion and share it? It’s his lawyers that said he didn’t seem suicidal.

            Or are you seriously just trying to insist it’s not suspicious any way you can?
