Oh...ForCryinOutLoud

Gerry Roberts, who bought Laci Peterson's home from her estate, has put the house back on the market, claiming he can no longer afford the mortgage payments. As you may remember, he was fired from his realty job after claiming to have found a red-stained knife in a backyard cabinet. Apparently, he hasn't been able to hold onto a job since. I wonder why.

Here's a clue:

"I've had nothing but bad luck since I've owned that thing," Roberts said.

Hmmm. And Roberts worked as a real estate agent? Okay.

Is this guy really that stupid, or is his obtuseness merely a safety net against any accusations of exploitation and unscrupulousness?
