A Monster By Any Other Name
What else do you call him?
Killing them might have been a better option for them.
Austrian Josef Fritzl, who imprisoned his daughter for 24 years and fathered her seven children, said he was no "monster" and he could have killed her and her children had he wanted to, according to his lawyer.
"I am not a monster," Austrian daily Oesterreich quoted Fritzl as saying in comments relayed by his lawyer Rudolf Mayer. Fritzl also criticized media coverage of his case as "totally one-sided."
In 1984, the now 73-year-old lured daughter Elisabeth into a basement in his home in the eastern Austrian town of Amstetten, drugged her and locked her up. He claimed she had disappeared to join a cult.

"Without me (she) would not be alive anymore... I was the one who made sure that she was taken to a hospital," said Fritzl, who also has seven children with his wife Rosemarie.
"I could have killed all of them — then nothing would have happened. No one would have ever known about it."
Killing them might have been a better option for them.

"I'm only being portrayed as a monster and not as someone who committed monstrous acts." J. Fritzl.
He admits to committing monstrous acts, but is himself not a monster. A consistent statement for an insanity defense, from a lawyer, maybe. But would an insane person know the difference? These are the words of a sane, calculating person.
