Firm's website has been taken down. From what little info there was online about the firm it seems like they didn't have happy clients.

Morbid curiosity (plus our frequent topic around here) led me to look him up. Yes, he's licensed, so "architect" serial killer it is.
If indeed guilty, what a monster.
Richard Balkins
Jul 14, 23 5:34 pm
Indeed. New question(s) for applicants (good moral character inquiry): [Ignore the question numbers]
Q1: Have you murdered or killed one or more persons?
Q1A: If Yes, do you know the whereabouts of the body or bodies of the person or persons you killed, please list and describe the exact locations of the body or bodies?
Q1B: If you answered Yes to Q1, was the person or any of the persons you killed a client or related to or in relationship with a client?
Q1C: If you answered yes to Q1B, why did you kill the person?
Now, on the serious side, I completely concur with citizen.

Wait, what happened to letting the courts decide? Traitor to the profession!
Richard Balkins
Jul 14, 23 7:19 pm
The court decides the guilt. I have not. I am merely speaking a statement of fact that regardless of the decisions at the court, people like you will be too eager to jump to conclusion and declare a person is guilty. You and people like you, won't wait months to decide. This is a statement of fact. Look at yourself on that Adjaye case.
I have not took a position of whether he is guilty or not guilty. Citizen did not say affirmatively that Rex is guilty in the post I agree with him. I am namely agreeing to citizen regarding as quoted: "If indeed guilty, what a monster." This is because in principle, I agree that serial killers (serial murderers) are monsters. However, I also agree for the courts and the process of the court to reach a verdict to make an affirmative decision on whether or not they find the person guilty. This is not the venue for THAT decision-making.
It is a statement of fact that people like you will jump to declaring a person as guilty. Past shows. In any case, by the time a verdict is made in court, the controversy will already have a public that will have decided he is guilty and the stench of the controversy of the murders will essentially kill his career and devastate his firm regardless of the verdict.

Its pretty ridiculous to think that the police would frivolously arrest someone for a crime that had a Netflix movie made about it. This is a very high profile public case.

Richard Balkins
Jul 17, 23 12:39 am
x-jla, it's not about a frivolous arrest but tunnel vision and mistakes that happen especially with so much brass up the ass pressuring you to indict, arrest, and convict, so much so that you are a one-man philharmonic orchestra with all that brass up the rectum.
Richard Balkins
Jul 17, 23 3:20 am
To be clear, "you" as used is meant rhetorically and not referring the x-jla. Just to remove any misunderstanding that could be construed.

You really don't want me to answer those questions Rick.

Are you referring to the questions Q1, Q1A, Q1B, Q1C? Those were meant as jest and not meant as a serious suggestion.
Chad Miller
Jul 17, 23 6:39 pm
Yes, those questions. I know they were in jest. I laughed thinking of them on on some RFQ's though. You still don't want me to answer those questions though. ;)

Real answer: if he’s convicted, he can be both kicked out of the AIA for life and also lose his license to practice.

“For him, it’s all about the planning and the details. As an architect, he is meticulous about the detail in his work and in his killing,” Mr. Bonn said. “Just like he’d create a blueprint for a building, he had a blueprint for murder.”
This is why I've always loved Morgan Freeman in Seven, I thought he was an architect.

Yeah. It would find it weird and strange as well. The whole situation is weird. I'm unsure if it was just him, his wife involved or doing it, or both something involving them both in some way. It's just weird and all the facts I know of is had been made public doesn't paint a good picture.
