Nicholas Brooks Indicted in Death of Ex-Girlfriend Sylvie Cachay

poor nicholas brooks!  his father was a sociopath and sent his sister, amanda, back to live with her mother in england when she was 14.  nicholas was ordered to have no contact with either his sister or susan paul, the children's mother, from that point forward.  joseph brooks was verbally and emotionally abusive, and enjoyed the company of much, much younger women and a multitude of prostitutes.  nicholas is emotionally stunted and turned to drugs and booze to soothe his pain.  it's not surprising to me that he couldn't handle sylvie's attempt to break up with him.  of course, i'm not excusing what he allegedly did to her, but this poor guy's life was shattered at the tender age of 8.  nicholas is another victim of joseph brooks...he sure didn't light up too many lives of his own did he??
