FL - Collin Griffith, 17, stabs mother to death 1 year after fatally shooting father - Sep. 11, 2024

I asked the same. Then I read that he was acquitted. SMH

His case never went to trial. The prosecutor in OK did not feel they could prove it wasn't self defense so he was never even tried. His mom bailed him out of jail in OK and he moved back to Florida with her.

He's been charged with violating an order of protection. Maybe he was not living at his mother's?

Yep. His dad abused him, and his mom didn’t protect him. He was severely traumatized and full of rage at both of them, it sounds like. If this is the case, it’s no wonder he said he would kill her. He wouldn’t have been able to understand the difficulty victims of DV have when trying to get away, and possibly blamed her.

Who knows who else he might blame if ever let out of jail/prison.

I am thinking the Menendez bros....not sure if we will ever know what the father was doing...and C is being presented as simply bad but maybe there is a back story... however who to believe? And what does society do with people this angry and violent?

lock 'em up and throw away the key

Murdering both parents is just so extreme that I wonder what he was like as a child and preteen and what kinds of evaluations and diagnoses he received over the years.

Did his mother and grandmother believe he was innocent of murdering his father, or did they live in fear of him?

I believe that his mother feared him - and that was why she gave him expensive gifts and holidays, in the (forlorn) hope that she would then be safe from him.
