Jeff I have not given up on the idea of SJ being stalked in some manner and the time of the confrontation being random. JD

We need to distinguish between crime of passion and crime of rage. Add to that the question of panic, especially on the part of an, um, inexperienced killer. Bodies don't necessarily just go limp. They can make noises, they can twitch. This might easily induce an assailant to strike again and again, out of blind fear.

I'd think if someone had planned for quite some time to kill Suzanne they'd have had a much more robust "killing weapon", like the knife OJ used. What was the exact description? I must have missed it somewhere. As to another point you make, I see no reason why a premeditated murder shouldn't happen as quickly as an unpremeditated one. Speed may even be more important in the case of premeditation: the killer is in some way connected to the victim; he fears being seen with her, and needs to try to establish some kind of alibi.
