This guy is evil "Police: Man Drowned Child for Insurance" and hurt many more for same reason

SEATTLE (AP) - The firefighters who tried to save 3-year-old Ashley McLellan, unconscious after being pulled from a pool on a winter night in 2003, noticed something strange about her stepfather: He was calm, mostly dry and never once asked them if she would live.

She didn't, and Joel Zellmer was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of killing her in an attempt to collect on a $200,000 insurance policy - just one accusation in a string of accidents that investigators say Zellmer concocted to befall the young children of the women he dated.

Investigators say Zellmer has a history of dating single mothers, urging them to take out insurance policies and harming their children, including burning the hands of one and giving another a hot cup that blistered her lips.

Attorney Joe Hampton, who is representing Zellmer in a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Ashley's mother and father, said he would not be representing Zellmer on the criminal charges and had no comment. It was unclear whether Zellmer had another lawyer.

1. And The Conservative Response Will be:

And when the news about such a criminal sociopath gets noticed, Excresence in Broadcasting, the Shammity Lad, O'Lielly, and the Savage Weiner will unite to claim that Zellmer was a liberal.

If the prosecutors successfully prove their case, I hope Zellmer gets thrown in the general prison population without any special protections.

3. this is no ordinary criminal

Psychopaths are social predators who charm, manipulate, and ruthlessly plow their way through life, leaving a broad trail of broken hearts, shattered expectations, and empty wallets.

Completely lacking in conscience and feelings for others, they selfishly take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret.

--Robert Hare

These killers were not simply anti-social individuals who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) criteria for anti-social personality disorder (ASPD). They were psychopaths—remorseless predators who used charm, intimidation and cold-blooded violence to attain their ends.

Premeditatedly seeking out children to maim or kill for material gain? That's cold-blooded indeed, even when judged against the more common sorts of violent crime.
