"Runaway Devil" details a crime that caused ire and debate in Canada when it happened and upon the recent release of J.R. How was it that a twelve year old girl from a good family ended up killing them? Then, why was it that she received so little time for those crimes? For people more familiar with American true-crime tomes, this book adopts the restraint of our judicial system and approach to crime journalism in general. Unlike American television and crime coverage, we do not release constant footage. You won't see video of "perps" doing the walk or talking to their families in the visiting room. The gory details of crime photos are not displayed for all to see and share. In one case (the Bernardo trial) video footage of the assaults was destroyed in order to prevent future leaks onto the web. Some trials fall under media black-outs until they are complete. We are especially sensitive to the rights of juveniles. In the matter of this book, Robert Remington explains the difficulty he had in getting the okay to reproduce a drawing found in JR's locker. Thus, the information in "Runaway Devil" is more facts laden than salacious or gory. And plenty of facts there are. The reader discovers all that they need to know about both JR and her co-accused. Her parents weren't religious sticks-in-the mud. They were caring people who had both made it through substance abuse treatment centres and embraced clean living. The kids were loved and as JR admitted, not abused in any way. On the other hand, Jeremy Steinke was grossly failed by his mother, who allowed him to be beaten and bullied not only by his own father, but by two step-fathers. She used drugs while pregnant with him and continued to drink to excess, providing no guidance to ensure that he went to school. Robert Remington recounts how J.R. and Steinke met and how the murder came to fruition. The crime itself is explained, but not vividly so. There is no need to exploit the brutality and he walks that line well with his words. The book then covers how the two were caught and the subsequent police interrogation, which included an undercover agent. I enjoyed reading this book. As with Karla Homolka, I believe she knew how to manipulate and use people to downplay her involvement.
I first learned about J.R. aka Jasmine Richardson's case through the Deadly Women episode "Forbidden Love", and it shocked me to the very core. It was hard to believe a 12-year-old girl could kill both her parents and little brother with her 23-year-old boyfriend! And the legal outcome was a surprise, too!The book itself gives incredible details how an ordinary girl, the youngest killer in Canadian history, turned into a murderer and ended up betraying the people who loved her - her own family... My heart goes out to the Richardson family's friends. :(
I'm a big fan of the true crime genre, and this is one of the better books out there. I'm still astounded at the so-called punishment this 13 year old Jasmine Richardson received after pressuring her 23 year old lover into killing her parents, and eight year old brother.The book was insightful and disturbing. Jasmine Richardson wasn't abused or treated poorly by her parents, yet she hated them and wanted them dead because she hated their normal parental rules.She even faked a nice family outing with them; riding dirt bikes just a few days before their murder. From the lack of remorse it appears she's a sociopath.
This was a great read, and painted a graphic picture of the crime that was committed. I first heard about this crime on a podcast I read, and immediately needed to find the book to read. I'm letting a friend borrow it, and she is hooked too.I did however find a typo, no big deal though.
So sad for the family and Jasmine now out of jail with her university degree.
Fantastic book, it was a fun read all the way through
Well I came across this book in my recommendations column, and I decided to go with it. I mean, it says right in the title "how a twelve year old came to murder her family." A twelve year old! I had to admit that interested me, because when I think of myself at twelve, it was all about sleepovers, going to the movies, skating, Barbie dolls...you know, the normal kid's stuff. Boys hadn't and would not enter the picture for a few years. This story, which I will not bore those who read this with a synopsis of the story which you can read in the page above, is maddening! A young girl meets a man, not a boy, a grown man aged 23 years, falls "in love", and convinces him that her parents must die in order for their so-called love to be allowed to flourish. This case takes place in Canada, where the law for youths differs greatly from the U.S. under what is called the Youth Offenders Act, which secures a child's rights and spares them the harsh consequences of an adult offender. Now, the idea behind this law is not at all a bad one. It simply states that now what is known of children and their psychology and delicate, still growing brains, cannot understand the consequences of their actions in the long term, therefore they should not be sentenced the same as adults. But no one ever thinks (and why should they) that this will ever affect a case as gruesome and horrible as a 12 year old girl and her boyfriend/accomplice murdering her parents, and what can only be described as evil, the murder of her 8 year old brother. Young JR (as she is known, since the Youth Offenders Act protects the identity of the child) and her boyfriend, and also her sexual partner, Jeremy Steinke, were big into the Goth scene in their small town, which of course gave this story a bit of spice for the media, because surely this lifestyle must have had something to do with such an awful set of crimes being committed by two young people. I personally don't believe that to be true, as over my life I have had many goth friends, although not one myself, and they have always been very deep, loving, and overall pacifistic people. The murders could have just as easily been carried out by someone dressed in Abercrombie and Fitch, but the seemingly evil nature of the crimes fit perfectly in the minds of the public with a pair of black dressed, pierced, makeup wearing offenders. This book goes a little harsh on goth culture in my opinion, however it is well written, and penned by the reporters who first broke the story. It is a very unique case and one you will never forget. The book is also not too long, which I prefer in true crime novels, because I personally want the facts not the filler. It is a harsh reminder of the pains of puberty and child rearing, as both the parents and their murderers struggle with the kinds of problems that most of us do, but most of all a stunning reality that if it can happen here, it can happen anywhere. It will make you want to pull your hair out that this girl, who I think was the more dominant party, will never serve one day in jail, while her partner, who has been proved to be operating at about the level of a fourteen year old, will likely spend most of his life behind bars, which I'm not saying is undeserved, but this law that is in place to protect youths does not stipulate that there should be any protection for people with the cognitive levels of a child, which seems unfair. This girl will likely be back among the public in the next couple years, which makes one wonder if this law is really in the best interest of society, and not just the children it aims to protect. Anyway, a good read, and an interesting case of one of the most horrible little tweens you'll ever read about.
