In US Criminal law, means, motive, and opportunity is a popular cultural summation of the three aspects of a crime needed to convince a jury of guilt in a criminal proceeding. Respectively, they refer to: the ability of the defendant to commit the crime (means), the reason the defendant felt the need to commit the crime (motive), and whether or not the defendant had the chance to commit the crime (opportunity). Opportunity is most often disproved by use of an alibi, which can prove the accused was not able to commit the crime as he or she did not have the correct set of circumstances to commit the crime as it occurred. Ironically, motive is not an element of many crimes, but proving motive can often make it easier to convince a jury of the elements that must be proved for a conviction.
MEANS:
- John McAfee certainly had the means to shoot Greg Faull. He had heavily armed guards all of whom had serious criminal backgrounds.
- John McAfee owned a large cache of assault weapons and hand guns.
- John McAfee also stated to Dr. Allison Andonizio that he could have her ex-boyfriend killed.
MOTIVE:
- Two key journalists were eyewitness to John’s erratic behavior Joshua Davis and Jeff Wise. Both have well documented evidence to suggest John McAfee was manufacturing and using MDPV
- 24 hours before Greg Faull was murdered John’s dogs were poisoned and Greg Faull had told several people in the community he was responsible.
- The combination of MDPV use and John’s poisoned dogs is ample motive for murder.
OPPORTUNITY:
- John McAfee was Greg Faull’s neighbor and they had a long running dispute over John’s dogs because they were incessantly barking and biting both residents and tourists. Being neighbors gave him plenty of opportunity.
- John had keys to Greg Faull’s home since he at one time rented the basement for his laboratory.
In very simple terms John McAfee had the Means, Motive and Opportunity to murder Greg Faull and is still wanted for questioning as a person of interest in the murder of Greg Faull.
Of all the people, guards, teenaged prostitutes there is only one person who ran from the police, John McAfee. He left behind his businesses, his house and life in Belize and absconded Belize justice by illegally entering Guatemala.
Some of the assault weapons removed from John McAfee’s property by
the Gang Suppression Unit in Belize.
