Voted most likely to succeed then kills people to stop earthquakes. That is like smashing a CPU to fix the temps. Yearbook prediction was a total crash.

I disagree with the jury finding him sane. 🙄 He thought he was stopping earthquakes! My Aqua moon loves logic but that ruling makes zero sense. Hiding bodies doesn't mean you aren't delusional. 😒
