I have heard about the Amityville House many times and all the stories I’ve heard/read describe the house as a complete nightmare. I knew that there was a family murdered in the house however I did not know it was by a man who killed his own family but I find it disgusting how people want to profit from such an unfortunate event.

Great article! Honestly, when I read the title I thought to myself “aren’t we all” but then I read the full article. The horror story of the murders is scary. I can’t imagine hearing voices telling you to kill your family. And the attorney really tried to do something there and failed, he was in it for the money and didn’t care about the family.

Hey Makenzie, your article was so interesting! I honestly had never heard about the story of Amityville, but learning about it by reading your article, was so intriguing. These mystery stories make me curious and make me think whether or not the stories are real and I wish we had evidence to prove this. I don’t think William Weber deserved to get $15,000 as profit for his connection with the case because he was only trying to take advantage of the Lutz family in the end.

This was a great article, I have never heard of this troy before. But its very interesting because he killed his family due to him “hearing voices in his head to kill them”.But also he had no remorse for doing this act and had previous accounts of this so it was undependable he didn’t get the insanity plea deal. I am glad we served 6 consecutive life sentences.

This arwticke was very interesting! I’ve never head about this case. It’s crazy how this man just killed his own family in their sleep. He still continued his day after killing his family acting like nothing had happened. He supposedly killed them because he “heard voices” which i get but not only that he still did without feeling bad. He hooked them and then just acted like if nothing happened. The good thing was that he was sentenced for like 6 times.

This article is extremely well written as it opens with an intriguing hook for the reader to grasp. Connecting the reader to a story they are familiar with and relating it to the story they are about to give. Articles like this give the reader an opportunity to engage their creativity with an exciting story of a man killing family due to “voices” and never accepting blame. Makes the audience think if that could ever happen in relation to them as it is such a superattic event that can happen to anyone. Great article!

What a great and interesting article Makenzie! I had never heard of this story about Amityville, so it was very interesting to learn about it! I very much agree with the jurors and think that Ronald DeFeo was aware of the situation and should have been accountable for his actions. It saddens me that DeFeo still lived a hard childhood, and unfortunately, this is a common thread between many criminals and murderers.

I am super into horror and haunted things, so I enjoyed reading this article. I had never heard of this haunted house, so this was a first for me hearing about it! I think this article is super enjoyable to read while also being informative about the actual case and murders. This was such a well written article and I enjoyed reading it!

I have never actually heard of this house or horror story. However I am very curious whether the house is actually haunted and if anyone lives in it today. I would assume the Lutz family was not aware of the murders before moving in. In regards to the lawyer, I know there are many lawyers who specialize in just suing people for money. Most of the time over intellectual property or copyrights. Although it may not be the most ethical approach they gotta make money somehow, and the people they sue are breaking laws. However in this case I definitely think the attorney was in the wrong. He was clearly trying to take advantage of a popular story along with the Lutz family to gain some wealth.
