Did anyone read today in Newsday about the Amityville Horror?

The guy Robert Defeo that killed his family and is serving 6 life sentences is Married What is wrong with people! What I find more disturbing is that he gets his inheritance from the family that he KILLED Im sure this is why his wife married him. He sends her money every month from it and he will never be able to spend it!

i agree.... but i dont care since he wont ever see it. i would be more upset if he were to get out and recieve teh money.
America has the weirdest justice system!

I'm sure he sees the money somehow...if his wife is able to receive portions of it...then he, in one way or another, is reaping those benefits... makes me sick to my stomach to think about it.

Ya HE receives the money in Jail and then he sends HER SOME of it! Granted he can't spend it in the outside world but still. Im sure he buy things here and there.

Re: Did anyone read today in Newsday about the Amityville Horror?

haha. here i saw this:
Jay Anson's The Amityville Horror sold more than three million copies and was turned into a major motion picture that grossed more than $80 million dollars. The family happily went on a nationwide tour to promote the book as their 'true story.' Nevertheless, questions remained about the validity of their claims.

Butch DeFeo, however, believed the stories were concocted with the help of William Weber, Butch's defense attorney in 1975. In a handwritten letter, Butch wrote, 'Amityville was a hoax that Weber and the Lutzes started. Yes, to make money. It started as my trial was in progress.'

Although George Lutz proclaimed his story to be true, William Weber argued the story and Anson's book were not. In the September 17, 1979 issue of People magazine, Weber charged, “I know this book’s a hoax. We created this horror story over many bottles of wine.”
