INDIANAPOLIS December 4, 2009 (AP)

An Indiana 17-year-old authorities say identified with a television serial killer is set to appear in court on murder charges in his 10-year-old brother's strangling death.

Andrew Conley of Rising Sun is accused of choking Conner Conley to death as the two wrestled while their parents were at work Sunday. He is being charged as an adult.

Court documents say Conley told investigators that strangling Conner satisfied a craving like a hungry person eating a hamburger. He also told investigators the child's last words were "Andrew, stop."

The teen tells investigators in court documents that he had had fantasies about killing someone since he was in eighth grade and that he felt "just like" the serial killer Dexter on the Showtime television series of the same name.

More media scapegoating,,

Was the 3 year old was prolly a multiple murder who got off on some technical hitch?

The teen tells investigators in court documents that he had had fantasies about killing someone since he was in eighth grade and that he felt "just like" the serial killer Dexter on the Showtime television series of the same name.

So he had fantasties about murdering some one way before he ever saw Dexter then?

He was obviously looking at a show about something he already had an interest in.

He was also a GINGER:

They may have invented it, but i mostly hear about americans doing stupid stunts like that.

I blame Jackass.

considering that Dexter didnt kill children or innocents....

i think it would be more accurate to sat that killing his little brother made him feel like a useless criminal piece of fucking shit - which he is.

Actually that is a totally different think - that is emulating role models (as much asyou hate to call jackass team rolemodels) but kids have always emulated people who they consider heroes. Kids always wanted to be daredevils I did stupid shit liek that without the media influence we have today..Same goes for prowrestling and gangster rap both are considered glamous by some..

Things like youtube make it much easier to up the ante but its still coming from the sawm place...

Don't confuse this with the influence of negative rolemodels like murders etc - it doesn't work the same way....

What a shame. Also I believe this should be moved to True Crime area.

And yet, putting his mug on television, and continuing to speak of him, only carries his 15 minutes of infamy to higher levels....
