College student attempts to murder mother to get inheritance

<p>[LSU</a> student’s bond set at $500,000 after she’s accused of trying to murder mother | NOLA.com](<a href=“http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2012/10/bond_set_at_500000_for_lsu_stu.html]LSU”>LSU student's bond set at $500,000 after she's accused of trying to murder mother)</p>

<p>FIY she had bad aim and the mother is fine. I just can’t fathom how a person can plan to do something like that.</p>

<p>THat’s it? She decided to shoot her mother and kill her so she would get her inheritance money. There has to be a lot more to it than that.</p>

[acollegestudent]

<p>Why? There might be more, but there are also plenty of cases where a person strapped for money has killed/tried to kill for insurance, etc.</p>

<p>Wow. How incredibly stupid.</p>

The pair had bought gloves, duct tape and masks similar to those worn by the killers in the “Scream” movies,

Prosecutors say Boover knocked on her mother’s front door in the Esplanade at City Park Apartments on Monday about 4:30 a.m. and smiled through the peephole until her mother opened the door.
Boover’s mother found her daughter aiming a silver handgun at her, police said. The woman slammed the door shut and locked it. Boover then allegedly fired three shots at the door and fled in her car back to her dorm room on LSU’s campus, police said. Her mother was not injured.

When did she plan to wear the mask?!? Is there a plea for stupidity?</p>

<p>I am expecting that she will be disappointed when her mother declines to pay for an expensive defense attorney for her…</p>

<p>and as far as stupidity…I am sure the building had all kinds of security cameras tracking her in the building and the car outside…</p>

<p>and she thought she was going to get away with this, and be rich and happy for ever after?</p>

<p>This whole story blows my mind.</p>

<p>Who says teenagers can’t thing things through??? After all, they were successful getting from Baton Rouge to New Orleans!</p>

<p>Several years ago, there were two VERY SMART high school sisters who killed their mom for her life insurance policy.</p>

<p>They carefully planned it. They put pills in her alcoholic beverage, encouraged mom to take a warm bath, and after the pills took effect, one of the sisters held her down in the water for 8 minutes…while the other sister was TEXTING their friends giving them “minute by minute” updates!!! </p>

<p>They got away with it for about 2 years. Their friends knew ALL about it. But, then a “friend of a friend” learned, told the cops, they wired this person, and got the whole thing recorded. </p>

<p>this was in Canada.</p>

The sisters, whose names cannot be published under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because they were only 15 and 16 when they drowned their mother in the bathtub of the family home, are out on early release and serving 10-year sentences after being convicted of first-degree murder. They were sentenced as youths.
The women, now 24 and 25, are attending university.

Frightening to think these girls could kill their mother get a 10 years sentence and be out in 4 …. attending college.</p>

<p>Do you ever read Anne Perry? ( crime novelist)</p>

<p>The Menendez brothers killed both of their rich parents.</p>

[fendrock]

<p>Wow, tough for Anne Perry to have spent time in prison. I am so relieved she’s been able to put it all behind her. [heavy sarcasm]</p>

[HImom]

<p>What about the lives forever shattered and life lost by the murder she committed? Doesn’t sound like she spent much time in jail at all. Wish the people whose lives were shattered brought a civil action against her to help themselves rebuild their lives. </p>

<p>Murder or attempted violence for money or other resources is a long-running theme throughout human history. Pretty awful that youthful offenders who show such planning and deliberation in their actions get such short terms for these heinous offenses.</p>

[acollegestudent]

<p>^^^ exactly.</p>

[Consolation]

<p>Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme did not kill someone for money. I suggest watching the entire interview with her before making pat judgements.</p>

Do you ever read Anne Perry? ( crime novelist)

NO. Tried a few times but could never connect w/ her writing style or characters. And now after reading that article (where her sense of guilt/remorse about bludgeoning a woman to death is about as deep as someone wrecking the family car) …. her books are now on my do-not-buy list.</p>

[emeraldkity4]

<p>I don’t read her either but she is a popular writer.</p>

[bethievt]

<p>I do have compassion for Anne Perry. I think she made a huge mistake based on a belief that she was saving a friend’s life. I think she has paid for it.</p>

[fendrock]

<p>Here’s the Wikipedia account of the case:</p>

<p>[Parker?Hulme</a> murder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker–Hulme_murder]Parker?Hulme”>Parker - Wikipedia–Hulme_murder)</p>

<p>My judgement was based on Anne Perry’s comments as provided in EK’s link, so I wouldn’t say it was “pat.”</p>

[TutuTaxi]

<p>I realize Wikipedia is not always correct but the reason Anne Perry helped kill Honora Rieper was not because she feared for Pauline Parker’s life but because she and Pauline had an obsessive relationship and she didn’t want to be separated from Pauline.

Hulme’s <a href=“Anne%20Perry”>i</a>* parents were in the process of separating, and she was supposed to go to South Africa to stay with a relative. The two teenage girls, who had created a rich fantasy life together populated with famous actors such as James Mason and Orson Welles, did not want to be separated. They had hoped to go to England with Hulme’s father after the divorce.</p>

<p>it took 45 frenzied blows from both girls to finally kill Honora Rieper</p>

<p>Although many presumed Hulme’s and Parker’s relationship to be sexual, Perry stated in 2006 that although the relationship was obsessive, the two were not lesbians.
