in a pretrial hearing last week, a cheshire detective testified that, just after apprehending steven hayes, the home-invasion murder suspect told him that "things got out of control." so let's see if the home-invaders ever lost control:
1. joshua komisarjevsky cased-out the Petit house in the early evening after following Mrs. Petit and her daughter, Michaela, home from Stop & Shop
2. jk and/or steven hayes bought a pellet gun (that looked like a real gun) and zip ties
3. around 3 a.m., jk broke into Petit home through bulkhead doors, beat Dr. Petit (asleep on a couch in a florida room) with a baseball bat, then tied him up. let hayes into the house
4. in just a few minutes jk and hayes were able to subdue and tie-up Mrs. Petit and the two Petit girls, Hayley, 18, and Michaela, 11
5. held dominion over the house and their captives for six hours, coming and going as they pleased (at one point both jk and hayes were out of the house for at least twenty minutes while jk moved his van to a condominium complex parking lot a couple of miles away and hayes followed in the Petit's van)
6. coordinated a run to the all-night gas station (where hayes filled plastic gallon containers)
7. Made Mrs. Petit call her husband's office to say he was sick and wouldn't be in; jk called in to his own job saying his daughter was sick
8. coordinated a run to the bank (where Mrs. Petit withdrew 15 grand and raised the alarm)
9. sexually assaulted Michaela, raped and strangled Mrs. Petit, then spread the gasoline
10. lit the fire and ran out of house, leaving Hayley and Michaela to die tied to their beds
steven hayes' triple murder trial starts sept. 13th, jk's in the beginning of next year
