Sid Vicious Research

Sid Vicious was born in Lewisham London, United Kingdom. Research says that Sid grew up in troubled neighborhoods. When growing up, Sid’s mother kicked him out onto the streets, and at that point Sid had dropped out of high school at the age of sixteen. It was known that Sid’s mother had no interest in his life when he was a teenager (Little Lost Boys,2017). Anne Beverly (Sid’s mother) was very hardcore on drugs, such as, heroin and opiates. When Sid attended Kingsway, he had a counsellor that identified him as a kid with problems. The counsellor had said that Sid said he was going to kill himself (Little Lost Boys, 2017). Soon, Sid and his mother moved to Ibiza and that was when Sid’s mother started selling Marijuana to make a profit. That
was the beginning of Sid getting hooked on drugs.
Sid’s overall expression before he was arrested was very calm.
The reason for Sid to be calm was based on him being intoxicated off of heroin. Sid was a drug addict and a drinker. The night before the crime happened Sid had a guy come by around 3 am to drop off some drugs. Sid’s actions were unorganized because Sid didn’t have a history of attempting to kill different types of people. Some research states how it is still a mystery today, if Sid really killed Nancy (Morgan,2015). It was stated that she could’ve killed herself because she was very heavy on drugs also.
Sid and Nancy were known to be a couple. Sometime in their relationship, Nancy made connections with some of the guys in the band. Sid found out and argued with Nancy about that topic (Morgan,2015). When Sid met Nancy, it was stated that she was the one who got him hooked on certain drugs, such as, Heroin (Sid Vicious 2017). From then, the couple was heavy on drugs together.
Social influences that could have caused Sid to kill Nancy included the types of drugs Sid was taking. For instance, he could’ve killed Nancy based on the level of how intoxicated he was. Also, before Nancy was killed, there was evidence from Sid that they had argued before the incident had happened (“Sid vicious,” 2017). One source states Sid committing to stabbing her, but also that same source includes her falling on to the
knife.
The resolution for this case involves Sid getting a verdict of second degree murder. This punishment was chosen based on the information that I read about the case. Even though there is some evidence that can be traced back to Sid, I don’t think it was his main intention to kill Nancy. The relationship they had was pretty real, and some relationships will have their ups and downs. Also, Sid Vicious didn’t have a background of committing murders and there was little evidence and doubt on who could’ve committed this crime. Since Sid was the only one at the crime scene when the murder took place, this verdict should fit him well.
