KING OF THE DOUCHEBAGS

This story made the front page of one NYC paper, and normally I don't write about front page stories, but this one bothered me so much. It turns out; this drug addict douchebag on your left from Queens, NY, who has a pretty long rap sheet and a tiny record of achievements, murdered his mother and father in two separate attacks a little over a year apart. These murders were ultimately recently solved through biological evidence found under the parents' fingernails. In other words, the DNA that his parents gave him ended up getting him in the end! 

36-year-old, Gregory Cucchiara is set to be arraigned tomorrow (12/12) for beating and drowning his mother, Josephine, back in May 2011, and then smothering his father, Carmelo, with a pillow this past August. Cucchiara was quietly arrested on November 13 and was being held without bail on Rikers Island. He denied any role in his parents' death and even had the balls to attend their wakes. This guy is a piece of work! Cucchiara's DNA was found under the nails of Josephine and Carmelo, which was evidence that they fought back as they were being killed. 

Cucchiara's motive is still unclear, but his sister did mention that her drug abusing brother often fought about money with his parents, who ran successful businesses and built their dream house in Bayside, Queens. His sister went on to say that her parents always tried to help him and that even though it's impossible to help someone who doesn't want to be helped, he was their son and they didn't want to see him homeless. Hearing this statement alone makes Gregory Cucchiara a bigger douchebag that I originally thought he was. He had parents that gave him everything and probably only wanted the best for him, so he decided to take their lives. I think I want to kill him! What an idiot! He deserves any punishment coming to him. 

 Cucchiara killed his mother on May 25, 2011 in the family's Bayside palace. Carmelo found her body in the bathroom, kneeling on the floor, with her head submerged underwater in the bathtub. Cucchiara denied killing her and in fact, claimed that he tried to save her by giver her CPR. Is this guy for real? Carmelo thought his son was the killer all along, and he moved immediately to keep his distance from his son. He stayed in the basement apartment of an Astoria building where his daughter lived upstairs. Then on August 20, Cucchiara's sister found their father dead in his bedroom. As with his mother's death, Cucchiara claimed innocence. He flipped during questioning, underwent a psychiatric observation, and was quickly released. He was free up until early last month.

Cucchiara's lawyer says that he will plead not guilty. Seriously? Bayside neighbors described Cucchiara as a polite neighbor, but a problem child. His sister claims that his substance abuse destroyed their family. Doesn't it always, though? I just can't get over the fact that this guy's parents would've given him anything he wanted. All he had to do was stay clean and possibly take over the family businesses, which could've been lucrative for him. At the age of 36, wouldn't you be addicted to making money than addicted to drugs? It pisses me off to see someone who grew up with everything and whose parents were willing to give them everything, but they choose another path. I just don't get it! My heart really goes out to the parents because I'm sure they were special people.
