38. Uh it wasn't wrong Lanza WAS using his brother's ID...

and this didn't come from the "Twitterverse" this came straight off the television. The poster did the same thing I did and looked him up. There is no law against that...or even speculating in an internet forum. Everything posted in one is to be taken with a grain of salt...even the courts know that.
