Randolph students to honor slain classmate:

Classmates of Jennifer Parks from Randolph High School in New Jersey are honoring her by creating two scholarships in her name. If you haven’t been following, 16-year-old Jennifer Parks was “allegedly” bludgeoned, stabbed and dismembered by her next-door neighbor Jonathan Zarate.

Students hope to raise enough money to provide two $500 scholarships in Ms. Parks’ name, but the idea of buying books for the school library would be a special tribute to their classmate.

I’ve been keeping in contact with Jen’s mom. She really liked the idea of buying new books because Jen liked to read a lot. We would put her name in the front of each book as a memorial.

Does this sound like someone who some people think deserved what she got?

If you’re in or near the Randolph, NJ area, why not throw a couple of bucks their way.

DNA taken from teens in girl’s death:

This is an update on the case of Jonathan Zarate. He’s the scumbag who allegedly bludgeoned, stabbed, killed, and dismembered 16-year-old Jennifer Parks.

The last time we heard, his lawyer was planning an insanity defense. At that time, a few people left comments stating that Zarate’s younger brother did it and that Zarate was covering for him.

Well, Zarate’s brother, only identified as “J.Z.”, and the other teenage accomplice, identified as “V.B.”, have claimed that they had nothing to do with the killing.

Meanwhile, Morris County investigators have obtained DNA samples from the two. If their DNA is found on Jennifer Parks’ body, then the charges could be upgraded. Right now, they’re only charged with illegally disposing of human remains.

The other day I told you about the case of Jonathan Zarate who killed and dismembered 16-year-old Jennifer Parks, then hid her body in the back of his dad’s jeep for a day. Well, now the defense attorney says that he might be going for an insanity defense. That seems to be all the rage lately.

“From what I’ve heard, he was in an uncontrolled rage,” Fusco told The New York Times. “There was nothing going on that you can point to and say they were fighting or something happened between the two of them.”

That’s just more reason to lock him up. Better yet, stuff his ass into a steamer trunk then dump him into the Hudson in February.

He’s not insane. He carried out a very precise and well-thought-out crime. Sadistic psychopath? Yes. Insane? Hardly.

New Jersey

Invited her to watch TV, then stuffed cut-up body in trunk:

Reason to Blow Up The World: The fact that this scumbag, Jonathan A. Zarate, invited the victim over to his house then stabbed her, dismembered her body, stashed in a steamer trunk, then left the trunk in his dad’s jeep for a day while a freaking birthday party was being held at the house. Too bad New Jersey is unlikely to execute. This guy was made for the death sentence.

My condolences and prayers go out to the family and friends of Jennifer Parks.
