Shoots neighbor on Lone Jack Road in Encinitas
I agree with virtually everything n15068 says. I do not agree that the wife probably knew Vilkin was going to kill John Upton as there is no evidence of that. The reason she promotes the defense theory is because this is her husband and I would think most spouses would defend the other spouse. However, deep down I believe she knows John didn't have a gun and whatever happened didn't require deadly force. It should be noted that there is talk that there was past contention between the two (just verbal) but by all accounts John Upton was calm and not an aggressor in any way the day of the shooting. As for the blogging, that is also true...there are MANY questionable statements Vilkin made when blogging including some were worse than the one referenced. The condom statement was definitely interesting and I am sure made the wife think about what they were doing in the case. I don't believe Vilkin will ever see freedom again.— September 25, 2013 4:30 p.m.

Rumor has it they found the hired laborers. As for the cell phone/ gun comments, the defendant just saying he thought it was a gun doesn't make it just manslaughter or 3rd degree. It has to pass the smell test. The guy was in hiding waiting for Upton to come out of the house and pulled the gun out immediately. How in the world did he think his life was in danger where there is zero evidence Upton ever threatened him bodily harm or even had a gun. Vilkin says he was harassed many times but in exactly ZERO of those times did he say Upton was violent in any way or had a gun.— July 16, 2013 11:17 p.m.
