This is truly terrible. Execution style murder. The thread is not about that or the senselessness of it. But this story raises lots of questions for me.
This 33 year-old single mother of 3 was a third year law student. I am finding it nealy impossible to reconcile in my mind how anyone could do all this, let alone afford it all. Something is really troubling and curious about this whole thing to me:
"Brown had a master’s degree in biomedical engineering, a master’s in business administration and a bachelor’s degree in biology. She clerked at a law firm and once worked as a biomechanical engineer for a defense contractor and as an emergency technician at a local hospital. Outside work, she was on the advisory board for the nonprofit group DevelopingKIDS...
According to court documents in Wayne and Oakland counties, Brown, who was raising three daughters, is divorced and sought a personal protection order against an ex-husband in 2007, claiming he was dangerous. An Oakland County judge denied the order.
She was involved in a custody dispute over the last year with the father of her youngest child. That father, records show, sought joint custody, but an Oakland County judge denied his request in February. She also filed a civil suit in 2011 in Wayne County against a man who had possession of her car and would not return it. The outcome of that case is not known.
