Synopsis
On December 17, 1992, Pamela and Kermode Jordan were brutally murdered in their lovely Colorado home. The following morning, the Jordans' fifteen-year-old son, Jacob Ind, confessed to the murders. "They beat me, they beat me and I couldn't take it any more."
Was Jacob Ind a murderer? Was Jacob a victim? Or is he both?
Come with me. End Jacob's world--a world where love means hate, where right and wrong are traps to be set by parents determined to raise "the perfect boys." A precocious child, Jacob learned from his two greatest teachers that problems are always solved through violence. And, via America's criminal justice system, the Jordans' lesson continues to be reinforced. Come with me. Enter Jacob's world. Discover, as I did, that there are many different kinds of murder.
