Irrespective of the jury's verdict, these people, Locker, Minor, Locker's wife, and Locker's children, certainly have screwed-up values. I was left with the feeling that Locker perceived his scheme to bilk the insurance companies as the ultimate con even if he had to die for it.

Minor deserves a retrial - this was NOT murder - it was assisted suicide. I hope he gets a retrial and set free with time served. People need to stop being such haters and be more compassionate.

I believe Mr. Kenneth Minor should have a retrial. Unfortunately, Mr.Locker was living a life of quiet desperation. He wanted to correct his errors by not shaming his family. I believe his family knew about the suicide plan. A no show to court really didn't surprise me. The family should have been subpoena as to the text Mr. Locker's son sent to his father. In addition, the family should have been probed further regarding the conversations, as well as the insurance policy purchased a month prior to his demise, enter as evidence of an intent to have it look like murder instead of suicide. This should be investigated further.

Mr. Locker's family will never ever get closure because they know there is a man rotting in jail for the rest of his life, and they know the TRUTH. A motivational speaker can sell the Brooklyn bridge without too much effort, and so Mr. Minor felt compelled or even momentarily mind-controlled to help Mr. Locker. Yes, motivational speakers can be that good.

You can't make this up except Mr. Locker did, and he came into a neighborhood, Harlem where he knew the media would add more drama to his scheme. This is really a heartbreaking ending for both men, as well as for all friends and families on both sides.

There is not the end of this story, and I hope the truth comes out soon.

And they are suing to get the $$$ hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

Wow - what a case. Yeah l think he wanted someone to kill him, but for what? That family of his sure didn't show no gratitude, even if they knew he was planning this. "I'm going back to bed" what! I couldn't beleive a child would say that after hearing their father was dead.

Unbelievable. And this guy who carried out his wishes is left holding the bag, Hollywood could never make this up.

At any time the murderer could have said NO. That is a FACT. Any thing told by the defense attorny is not relavent to this case.
