HOME INVASION MASSACRE--PREVENTABLE?        The Petit Family Murders in Connecticut

Excerpt from CBS CRIMESIDER NEW HAVEN, Conn. (CBS/AP) The trial of Steven Hayes, the man accused of being the mastermind of the Connecticut invasion that left three members of the Petit family dead, continued Thursday, with prosecutors showing grim photos of rope used to tie up victims, ripped clothing and ransacked rooms to jurors. Prosecutors say Joshua Komisarjevsky saw Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters as they shopped for groceries. They say he followed them to their home in the affluent bedroom community of Cheshire, then returned later with Hayes. Together they say the two men severely beat Dr. William Petit, now 53, and killed his wife and both of his daughters, attempting to destroy evidence of their crimes by setting fire to the house. Petit, the sole survivor, who was badly beaten and tied up in the basement but escaped before the fire was set, hung his head at times as prosecutors showed photo after photo of burned staircases and hallways and images of his childrens' badly torn and burned clothing. Petit had sobbed during Wednesday's testimony as photos of his daughters' bodies were shown at the trial of Steven Hayes, one of two suspects charged with murder, sexual assault and other crimes in the deaths of Hawke-Petit and her daughters on July 23, 2007. The photos included images of rope used to tie up the victims; ripped shorts and other belongings of 17-year-old Hayley and 11-year-old Michaela; ransacked rooms; and melted containers that prosecutors said contained accelerants used by Hayes and Komisarjevsky in starting the fire. Komisarjevsky is awaiting trial. Both men face the possibility of the death penalty if convicted. State Police Sgt. Karen Gabianelli took the stand in New Haven Superior Court, leading prosecutors through photos displayed on a screen before the jury. On Wednesday, prosecutors showed photos of the bodies of the victims as they were found by police and firefighters. In all the bedrooms, jewelry was removed, Gabianelli said. "It looked like it had been gone through pretty well," she said. In another bedroom where clothes were strewn about, she said, "The closet was pretty well gone through, too." Hayes and Komisarjevsky were paroled burglars at the time of the invasion. Prosecutors showed photos of a pickup truck they say Hayes drove. Photos show the interior containing a knapsack belonging to the 17-year-old along with jewelry, including a string of pearls stored in a plastic bag. Superior Court Judge Jon Blue ended the session after defense lawyer Thomas Ullmann said his client had "medical issues" and unspecified information related to security. Earlier, Ullmann said Hayes had seizure-like symptoms and urinated on himself Wednesday night.

CAN YOU PREVENT SUCH A TRAGEDY? Unfortunately, some folks in some communities have the attitude that crime, especially of an unspeakably heinous nature, will never happen to them. If someone suggested implementing strategies to defend themselves, their families or homes, their neighbors would scoff at the idea. This is primarily due to the ostrich effect. If you don't see, hear or talk about something negative happening to you then somehow you will be spared the experience. Training for self protection can be seen as an interesting game: Instead of a few tennis lessons, a person or family can train for a proper mindset and acquire skills that would help in a life and death situation. Having weapons easily within reach and having realistic training in their use is of paramount importance for repelling a serious home invasion. Remember, once the door of a home is closed to the outside world there is no limit to what mayhem can be visited upon an innocent family. --John Perkins AWARENESS AND SURVIVAL PREPARATION ISSUES: There's not enough information yet to determine exactly what happened in the Pettit Massacre. Nevertheless, the following points are crucial when evaluating your own preparedness for a similar catastrophe. Understand that we are not trying to second guess the decisions that they made and when, but to open your mindset to the types of things one has to think about (no matter how disturbing) if you are to protect your loved ones.  There are no easy answers here or easy solutions just some points to ponder: --Were the daughters aware they were being shadowed in the mall, parking lot and while driving or were they immersed in conversation, iPhones, iPods and oblivious to their environment? --If they felt they were, did they act on the feeling--or disregard it? --Did they scan the area where they were parked and check their vehicle before entering? --Did they make 4 successive right turns to confirm if they were being followed? According to other reports, the Scumbags were very stealthy, slipping in through an unlocked back door that led to the basement where they gained entry to the house: --Did the home have: motion sensor lights / alarm with personal panic buttons proper locks / interior motion sensors / basement window barrier bar sensors / a reinforced safe room? --If so, were they turned on and functional?  And a third layer of protection: --Are family members trained in real self defense / firearms / a "warrior" mindset home invasion response strategies? And of course there's this question: the scumbags had previous records. Why were they even on the streets? There is more that we could go into but that is for another Newsletter. Our hearts and prayers go to the surviving members of the family. [Something to consider for your own home: criminals will often use verbal subterfuge so you let them in voluntarily. They'll say things like: "I've had an accident-I need to use your phone!", "I work for the gas company," "I'm asking for donations," etc.] SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONAL TOOLS FOR SAFEGUARDING YOUR LIFE, YOUR HOME AND YOUR FAMILY: 1.
