  • The Kramer family, living near Chicago, had been in a bitter dispute with Johnny Borizov. However, after a terrible home invasion, Johnny Borizov had a strong alibi. If not him, who? Maybe, a very naive youth he could manipulate...

      He was mentally ill, a drug addict, gullible, scared and not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. No way was he ever going to the police willingly. Johnny was an idiot, but he knew exactly who to pick for his sick scheme.

      He's in prison. But, if he didn't do what he did, he'd be dead.
      "There's no honor among thieves". Gangbangers, Cartel, etc....have no 'friends'. They have people in their lives for a purpose. Once someone serves no purpose, they have no worth. If someone creates a potential problem, the problem will be eliminated....from all angles: related women and children are not exempt.
      It's awful and absolutely despicable. But, life is a wild animal and every corner of the world is wildly different.

      What ? She doesn’t say embarrassed nor imply or infer anything to do with embarrassment..
      My ex lied to police and they removed me from the house two weeks after I told him to leave and then he abandoned his three stepchildren ( my three children) yet takes our 11 mth old breastfeeding baby boy. He manipulated the police and then the hospital and fled interstate. He’s Egyptian and he’s the first and only son and he’s sister has 6 daughters so I was literally used as a child bearer and then he wanted to move in with his parents and raise our son . Which is very custom in Egypt. Recently he’s made more false accusations against me and I’ve not seen my son for 6 months only allowed FaceTime weekly with my now 8 year old . His lawyer offered me supervised visits in a visit centre and I would have to drive 2.5 hrs and pay $70 .. but I’m not a criminal so I’m waiting for the judge to give me custody . The father has alienated myself and my entire family and my father passed away without ever meeting him… why use a child against someone else???? They aren’t human … They don’t know how to feel real emotions….

A year and a half later his older brother who was on heroin and meth for years got caught stealing from his life long friend and was found the next day on the side of the road. They said he had been hit by a car but I'm pretty sure the guy killed him. Either way gangs are a joke

      Look at it from his family's pov. They could have been exposed to basically nothing except court testimony and maybe the recorded threats in jail. In his family's eyes, he's just their grand/son/nephew who got accused of a murder with an alibi and threatened the man whose words had put him there. They knew he wasn't in a gang, so to them these weren't attempts to get Jacob to shut up and stop talking or his family would die, but rather weightless threats thrown from a man staring down a needle injection. I try to be sympathetic to family members that weren't directly involved in committing or covering up the crime. It's hard to accept that someone you love is a monster

    Johnny clearly was such a devoted father that he arranged for his son’s mother and her whole family to be killed while out at a casino making an alibi while his infant son was at his home being looked after by someone else (probably J’s delusional mother). Another example of a whacko angry person who wants custody in order to punish an ex *not* because he/she loves the child. Jacob’s attitude in court revealed a lot about his character, too; I’m sure he wasn’t too regretful about killing his ex-friend, Michael, or his parents. He wouldn’t have done it on his own, but I don’t think it was that hard to convince him to kill them. Glad they’re in jail and I hope they are there until they’re old men too sick and weak to hurt another person. I hope Angela and Anthony have been able to find some peace as they’ve gone on with life.

The inmates I I chilled with talked about what a pussy he is and how he won't make it in prison. He gained like 100 pounds from the time of his arrest. He was Very timid. I remember stacks and stacks of magazines and commissary in his cell. One day he was on the phones crying to his grandmother like literally crying his version of events that he doesn't remember anything until the police were chasing him and how he was going to shoot himself when he got pulled over. He was a heroin addict and was given dope to kill everyone in that house so that the other guy could get custody. Idiots.

      Wow! That takes a considerable amount of time & strength. I know this bc decades ago a guy convinced his new gf to knock off his ex & it took her several tries & different methods. Most bizarre story ever.

    I seriously still cannot understand how someone could harm their own kid’s mother. The fact that he wanted her whole family dead shows the hatred he had for her and I am glad she is still alive and that he is not winning that custody case ever!

    Im amazed at how calm and relaxed Jacob is, with police and in court. In the latter, i kept thinking. "Psychopath?" Maybe Johnny just enabled some latent desires.

    I see a new that chapter video I immediately get into bed, close my eyes and drift off into a nightmare. No matter the time. No matter the place.

    For someone smart enough to convince an idiot to kill an entire family while trying to create an alibi, he’s pretty stupid for not knowing about the whole conspiracy to commit part.
