The criminal mind wasn’t much of a mystery. All have sinned and fallen short. And out of the heart of man come evil thoughts. And thoughts lead to actions. Since she was part of the “all” who had sinned, and who had evil thoughts, well, she didn’t love the implication that she was equally capable of murder, but in general, the idea that sinners in a broken world were out to get each other was neither shocking nor particularly intimidating. She just had to narrow down what kind of evil mind was behind this particular murder. Every time a lecturer in her criminal justice class mentioned religious fanaticism as a sign of mental imbalance, Jane bristled. But, if that were true and not just liberal bias, a Josiah Malachi event was likely to be rife with just that kind of crazy. His killer could easily be a maniac who was exhibiting religious fanaticism. If so, should she be looking inside or outside? Would it have been someone who came to the event and saw the opportunity, or someone within?
