The whole article is peppered with interesting tidbits about Friedmann and his crime spree, enough for readers to want to speculate further, it's a shame he spent so much energy and time and money to place all those weapon caches in and outside of jail (how did he make enough money and have enough spare time for these obsessions!) and did not direct his focus towards a less destructive outlet like his talent in writing. This article presenting just the facts and not having any fake conversations typical of a lot of crime stories ala Capote/Larson should be lauded. Maybe the rape is true but his behavior scaring off his mother while so young seems to point to him just being somewhat broken from the start.
