NJ Man to Face Triple-Murder Charges in Montco (03/28/05)

by KYW's Brad Segall

A South Jersey man is being jailed without bail in Montgomery County, Pa. on charges that he stabbed three people to death last Friday in King of Prussia.

In addition to facing first-degree murder charges in the stabbing deaths of Lisa Greaves, her sister Heather, and Heather’s three-year-old daughter, district attorney Bruce Castor says John Eichinger will also be charged with the 1999 murder of Jennifer Still of Bridgeport (Montgomery County), Pa.

Castor (below right) says the motive appears to be jealousy, but they are also looking into some sort of connection with the fantasy role-playing game ”Dungeons and Dragons”:

"I mean, you have many, many stab wounds and those 'Dungeons and Dragons' fantasy games involve swords and knives and daggers and things of that nature. There may be a connection but I can’t say for sure.”

He says it appears they were all part of the same circle of acquaintances. Castor hopes to prosecute all four murders at one time, and says he will seek the death penalty for Eichinger.

What the hell.

"'Dungeons and Dragons' fantasy games involve swords and knives and daggers and things of that nature. There may be a connection but I can’t say for sure."

This makes me want to slap a bitch. What about the old fairy tales? SLEEPING BEAUTY HAD A DRAGON! :O And magic, and *gasp* swords. Beauty and the Beast. All kinds of violence there.

Jesus, don't these people ever *think*? >_<

Well, thinking on their account might involve some sort of effort, and besides, they might hurt themselves.

Unless the weapon was a +1 dagger this is bullshit.

these are probably the same people that quote biblical verse and say D&D is a satanic game............. if I was to commit murder, I'd do it using the Bible to get it banned........... the Bible has some great ways of killing people, like driving a tent stake through someone's head (Judges 4:21), or stabbing a fat king with sword (Judges 3:20-22) yeah, guess I'm on a mission now......

They need to blame something so they don't seem so stupid.
