A neighbor said that Aron’s family is “dysfunctional” and Aron himself is “disturbed.” He also made it clear that he kept his kids away from the Aron home. Not denying the fact that Aron has been facing emotional issues prior to the murder, his lawyers have suggested pursuing an insanity defense, reported the Heritage. Aron is currently on a suicide watch.

Aside from making the case a priority and expressing their deepest condolences, Mayor Michael Bloomberg admitted that “there’s not a lot else we can say.” Bloombeg visited the family’s shiva for Leiby, which is a seven-day long mourning event taking place at the home of the family of the dead relative.  It is customary for friends and family to come and pay their respects, and Bloomberg did just that, donning a traditional Jewish skullcap for the occasion.

Mayor Bloomberg concluded his visit with, “I think we should, before we go to bed, take a look at our children and recognize how lucky we are to have them. Pray this doesn’t happen to us.”
