(Putting on my Porkchop hat)  ;D

What was wrong with this guy was he lost his job, his wife left him, he had to pay her 1700 bucks a month in spousal (not child, SPOUSAL) support and his mortgage while she lived with her parents and bought a new car.

Then he had to come up with $10,000 cash, and while he got to keep the house, he got to keep the mortgage as well.

No excuses for taking 9 people with him , but I'd say his buttons were pushed.

I read that he was also a deadbeat dad from a prior marriage, so it's not like he was going to pay the spousal support anyway even if he decided to let her live.

Divorce inequities aside, if you can't deal with the consequences of divorce, don't *goshdarn* get married. Hell, he once showed the capacity to make such a "wise" decision when he once left another wife(-to-be) at the altar. This was his third try. He should have gotten a clue after his second.

Here's the dirt (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-santa-divorce27-2008dec27,0,1591349.story).

Quote
He was a software engineer who liked SUVs and went to Mass on Sundays. She was a secretary with a quick mind and an infectious laugh. When Bruce Pardo married Sylvia Orza three years ago, the match seemed ideal -- right down to the housing arrangements: He lived alone in a sparsely furnished house and she had three children and plenty of furniture.

But the marriage splintered nearly a year ago when she discovered that, years earlier, he had abandoned a brain-damaged son but continued to claim him as a tax write-off.
 
Sylvia Pardo was appalled, according to a source close to the police investigation.
