I don't thing he's "long" out of the military -- he was serving as recently as 2011, and had been in the military all his life. Plus, the "sir" thing is a southern thing....
but the flat affect...I also picked that up from the tone of his emails to his wife -- quite impersonal, most of them, and also a bit harsh...sounds as if he thought she should just snap out of it and pull herself out of her depression by her bootstraps...I know overall he was very concerned for her and the rest of the family...but still...
...of course, flat affect could be due to all the pain he'd gone through ...losing his kids...probably blaming himself...trying to hold it together in the courtroom

Parker #Schenecker saw his wife in jail after the murders. She said, "I guess I stopped your heart flat, huh?"
I think they are going to--I think they will blame him for leaving the kids in her care. :moo:

Parker off stand he will b recalled by the defense to go into #JulieSchenecker mental illness. That includes emails and treatment facilities

I am so very sorry for your loss. I too know that pain.

Parker Schenecker testifies he saw #JulieSchenecker in Feb. 2011. She said to him: "I guess I stomped your heart flat, huh?"
heartless
So he will testify for both sides?
Does anyone know the date of the car accident JS had? I'm wondering how far back JS's drinking went.
It sounds to me like he said "Guess I Stomped your heart flat, huh?"
Regardless though, that's a really effed up thing to say to him.

ITA, the decorum he exhibits is military. He is a civilian employee now for the DOD. Just because you retire after 27 years, it does not mean you lose what has been ingrained in you. I don't know if I read the same emails as You, but the snap out of it email I think came from her brother.
ETA: IMPO, his affect is not flat. It is controlled and his speech is measured. JS OTOH has a flat affect IMO. If you watch PS jaw, it tightens and releases.

Parker asked why #JulieSchenecker would go out of her way to Oldsmar to buy gun. pros believe Julie was trying not to be seen by anyone.
There it is... All the motive I would need if I was on that jury. BS she wanted to save her kids from mental illness.
I wonder if we are going to hear evidence that she was in fact at some point very capable and possibly brilliant ((she was a translator for Russian defectors)). It is no small feat to master a second language like Russian.......
