Both were raised by abusive fathers, for one. Not to say anything justifies any criminal act, let alone what they did, but they didn't just become absurdly evil for no reason. |
So are a lot of children. It doesn't mean that all decide to become bastions of evil.
Everyone faces adversity. My father wasn't around very often for the first 13 years of my life. My wife's father was always verbally abusive to her. It doesn't mean we became evil personified. Do such things correlate with bad behavior? Absolutely.
But if all criminality originates from the environment - say bad parenting - then where does bad partening originate? All wrongdoing has to originate from somewhere, and there are likely choices made to create the behavior in many cases, as opposed to simply someone else's fault.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
