Sociopaths will ALWAYS deny their own responsibility for their actions when caught. They will always attempt to deflect responsibility to someone else.
Melton shouldn't be put in a jail. He should be locked up in a straightjacket, pumped full of thorzine and put in a padded cell for the rest of his preternatural life.
And Eric Holder should have the squishy-walled compartment right next door.
Because these demonic sociopaths are a clear and present danger to society, and are obviously suffering from some VERY debilitating cerebral mis-wiring...
