Great catch!!!! That statement from JS just came out of nowhere.. had no meaning.. who said ANYTHING about planning a murder in three weeks?? Many many many things were going on in the background, many many of which JS was opposed to. imo......

“I don’t know anyone who can plan a murder in three weeks, but I can tell you I was not involved,” Jonathon says.
Barry Sherman’s son says his father asked him to repay tens of millions of dollars, two weeks before murders, but Barry was ‘all in’ with son’s business

Big spending was about to occur prior to the murders, plus the possibility of BS following through with his stated plan of signing on to Bill G's ''The Living Pledge".
If they had not died and things went according to plan, HS would have her ''own'' money, leading MS to then also have money, an over the top extravagant mansion was about to be built, Apotex was poised to expand in the US and BS planned on making ''an enormous donation to charity''.
Wondering now if it matters who died first, HS or BS?
rbbm imo, speculation.

Unsealed estate files reveal Barry and Honey Sherman's plans for their fortune
The identity of the person who made the initial request for the records to be kept secret was also revealed in the documentsnationalpost.com
Published Jun 15, 2021
''Upon their deaths, Barry Sherman held $67 million in personal property and $1.8 million in real estate. Honey Sherman had $45.9 million in personal property and $9.5 million in real estate, the documents say. This figure covered by the estate files, though, represents a fraction of their true wealth; Forbes estimates Barry Sherman was worth around $3 billion at the time of his death.''
''Simultaneous Deaths and the Shermans’ Estates
Common disaster planning and the Estates of Barry and Honey Sherman
Where two or more people die at the same time or in circumstances where it is uncertain which of them survived the other, there are certain complications that may arise in the administration of their estates.www.wagnersidlofsky.com
In the case of the Shermans, the unknown circumstances of their deaths may lead to uncertainty with respect to how their estates, totalling a combined $5-10 billion, are to be administered. It has been reported, although as yet unconfirmed due to the court’s sealing order, that Barry had primary and secondary wills, while Honey died without a will. Apparently, Barry’s wills may have left the residue of his estate to Honey in the event he predeceased her.4 If this is true, and Barry is found to have died before Honey, complications could arise if the residue of his estate were to pass to Honey’s estate to then be distributed to her heirs pursuant to the laws of intestate succession.5 This would have the unintended effect of distributing some or all of his estate assets according to a statutory scheme rather than in accordance with his wishes.''
''Barry Sherman had big plans in the year leading up to his murder — make an enormous donation to charity, gift hundreds of millions of dollars to his wife, Honey, and expand Apotex.
Murdered billionaire Barry Sherman planned to give away or invest much of his fortune, sources say
In the year before he was murdered, Barry Sherman was working on plans to give large amounts of money to charity and his wife, Honey, who was also killed, as well as expand his company Apotex, people close to the late couple say.www.thestar.com
Those plans, described to the Star in interviews by people close to the Sherman couple, had not been acted upon at the time of their murders.''
''Barry was talking about giving Honey a substantial amount of money,” said one person close to Barry.
The Sherman friends say one complicating factor in the planned gift to Honey was Shechtman.
“It was to be Honey’s money,” said a close friend. “If she wanted to give some to Mary, fine.”
''Intriguingly it has been reported that Honey also confided that she planned to change her will just three weeks before the couple died. No will has been found for Honey and the couple were dead before they could do anything about the idea of signing up to The Giving Pledge''.
Billionaire couple found 'murdered' discussed pledging their fortune
DailyMail.com has learned that shortly before Barry and Honey Sherman's death, he spoke of signing up to The Giving Pledge, a campaign backed by Warren Buffett and the Gates.www.dailymail.co.uk
According to info online, looks like property was officially listed on Nov 27, 2017, and the open house took place on Nov 28, 2018.......... but......... to invite people to an open house, you can't just send the invitation out on the same day, or one day in advance (unless you want nobody to show up for it!).... I'd say three weeks is a pretty fair estimate of when the house was perhaps listed 'exclusively' (within perhaps the agent's own brokerage and not MLS yet)... imo.
This is purportedly an email invitation to an open house being held Nov 28, 2017 sent out (when?) by one of the realtors who had 50 Old Colony listed for sale:

Many children had played there in the past. My thought was also, if there weren't scratches/drag marks before and who would have known, if they just emerged or were old.
I have been pondering same thing.... unless either the slate was polished so it would show footprints and such (which I doubt if they would've done that.. or if the room/floor had become dusty from lack of use (which I also can't imagine it could be THAT dusty, even if not 'cleaned' for 3 weeks or whatever).. or unless the drag marks were made of blood or something??
Presumably it would've taken some time to whittle down the amount of stuff the Shermans had amassed during their.... (was it 40??) years in that house... also odd to think that on the day before their murders, they were still doing decluttering?? In any case, the pending potential sale of their family home would've been in the works for some time prior to officially listing it, however perhaps some may not have been totally in the day-to-day loop, and may not have perceived that it was actually so imminent.. some who perhaps are very close, but yet preoccupied with their own lives, etc.
Biggy: -JS and AP would presumably have been more and more pressured by BS into getting their own bank financing on the $50-60M he'd asked to be returned... and in the event they did not qualify (or the properties to be mortgaged did not qualify) for that amount, then there would be some very uncomfortable questions/discussions happening, imo.
The idea of a thin necklace did cross my mind. - though they would have to take it off of H.Sherman, and then proceed - and possibly theft if the "object" was never found - though. Has there been any indication of funds or high-value items missing?
