An abusive mother
Raised in the suburb of Riverside, California, 20-year-old college student Jason Bautista endured for years his emotionally disturbed mother's verbal and psychological abuse. She even locked him out of the house, tied him up with electrical cord, and on one occasion, gave him a beating that sent him to the emergency room.
A son's revenge
On the night of January 14, 2003, Jason strangled his mother. To keep authorities from identifying her body, he chopped off her head and hands, an idea he claimed he got from watching an episode of the hit TV series The Sopranos. Jason's 15-year-old half-brother, Matthew, would later testify in court that he sat in another room in the house with the TV volume turned up while Jason murdered their mother.
A crime that would bond two brothers
The morning following the murder, Matthew went to school, and Jason returned to his classes at Cal State San Bernardino. When authorities zeroed in on them, Jason lied and said that his mother had run off with a boyfriend she'd met on the Internet. But when police confronted the boys with overwhelming evidence, Jason confessed all. Now the nightmare was only just beginning for him.

Sad but a good story.

The mother was horrible, especially to Jason. He not only couldn't do anything right in her eyes, but as soon as he was old enough he had to take on much too much responsibility than a young kid should have. He had a promising future that he is unable to realize. It seems he was abused in many ways from a very young age.
Yes, there was mental illness but nobody seemed to help-I'm talking about relatives. Professionals can't help anyone who doesn't seek it but family members in this narrative just didn't seem to want to be bothered.
A very sad story and I believe the punishment was much too harsh.
Narrator was great.

The book began very slow and continued like this for quite some time. However when I came past this point it took another turn and it actually ended like an ok read.
This book covers a case that I haven’t heard about before.
Besides the picking of the narrator is good. She really did a great job.
