Murder

I have been doing a lot of research for my next novel, which is a psychological thriller. To create believable characters, you have to give them life. One of my characters commits murder, and there are many types of murderers in the world, ranging from the Depressive to the Sadistic. Most of my research is from Dr. Reiter's notes, my former Forensic Psychology Professor. Brilliant man. As I'm going over various case studies, majority of murders are triggered because people are in financial debt, and feel they have nothing left to loose, and killing will give them some sort of power. Think about it, our economy sucks, and crime is up. I predict a lot more killings in the near future. Just look at that poor mother and son who's ex-husband came in and killed them both. This is a sad world we live in. People suck. On another note, I'm also doing extensive research on Stonewall Jackson from the Civil War. If anyone has any information on him, I'd love to hear it.
