November 20th: Salvatore Perrone Arrested (2012) Sometimes a criminal's motive seems so far-fetched it's hard to know if they are telling the truth or trying to get off easier.

A motive that, for some, proved him to lack the competency to stand trial and, for others, was simply a cold-blooded lie to try and sway a jury.  https://murderpedia.org/male.P/p/perrone-salvatore.htm, https://www.oxygen.com/mark-of-a-killer/crime-news/salvatore-perrone-son-of-sal-shopkeeper-murders, https://www.huffpost.com/entry/son-of-sal-convicted-of-killing-new-york-shopkeepers_n_56bc84cce4b0b40245c56499, https://nypost.com/2016/01/28/accused-serial-killer-seen-with-kill-kit-minutes-before-murder/.\, ,https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20121121/flatbush/man-confesses-killing-brooklyn-shopkeepers-sources-say/ https://www.huffpost.com/entry/salvatore-perrone-alleged_n_2177313?utm_source=reddit.com Learn more about your ad choices.
