Chase Merritt Character Traits
Chase Merritt I feel was and is a spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically broken man.

I believe that Joey helped Chase out in a time of need, when he was most likely facing huge financial or even existential difficulties. The fact that he has a gambling addiction, which was confirmed by his ex-girlfriend is also an important clue and piece of information. When trying to put all the pieces of information together, I get an idea that Chase probably felt deep emotions towards Joey. Because he was the one who helped him out, and believed in him regardless of his shady past.

We can speculate that Joey grew very tired of Chases unreliability, when it came to their business partnership. Based on the evidence (the meeting at the Chick-fil-A) it seems that Joey confronted Chase about this matter on the 4th of February. The extensive amount of phone calls made between then on this date, also points to a certain abnormality, which needs to be explored further. What we can speculate is that they had heated discussions about something on this date, because they phoned each other 27 or so times, in a very short period of time. And we can also say that something made Joey very uneasy on this date, because he phoned his mother telling her that he was having another one of his dizzy spells, which could be a symptom of anxiety and worry. In my opinion I think that it is very probable that the discussions that went down between Chase and Joey on this day, would have changed the dynamics of their relationship drastically. Enough so, that it would create a motive for the crime

    To be successful one must possess an important trait, grit. Firstly, perseverance is needed to overcome the obstacles in life. For example, Arian Foster was not selected in the NFL draft. That did not stop him on his quest to be a star running back. In sum, Arian worked his way never giving up, from the bottom of the league to his dream of becoming a star running back. Secondly, passion is what drives us to keep moving forward. For instance, Arian was always doubted but that did not discourage his drive for success. Thus, he used the doubt as motivation to become who he wanted to be. Thirdly, effort has to be put out to have results. In particular, Arian had limited opportunities to show what skill he has. Until injuries to other running backs…
