I have no doubt that BC was partially responsible for Chase's death. He enabled his use of drugs, maybe even procured the drugs for him, otherwise aiding and abetting him in his pursuit of drugs that night. But can we prove that BC actually caused his death, by physical violence against him or administering drugs to Chase against his will? I don't think it's possible.
We know he is at least guilty as charged -- as evidenced by his concealment of Chase's body and his involvement in Chase's death. For this, he needs to get the maximum sentence allowed.
BC is an addict. He was in no position to deny drugs to Chase or to be a "role model". I also think that BC envied Chase's life. He entertained the notion that he could step in and fill Chase's role as husband and father to Chase's existing family.
This, in my opinion, is evidenced by the interviews with NG and MSM where he stated several times how "lucky" Chase was to have a beautiful wife and two little girls. The day following the night Chase died, BC tried in vain to get Chase's wife to come to his "BBQ" and bring their daughters -- even knowing that, if they did show up, Chase wouldn't be there!
I think BC was proud of what he had achieved in that he owned his own home, was making many cosmetic renovations to the property, and thought that Chase's wife would compare BC with Chase, and Chase would not measure up.
These were delusions on the part of BC.
I was never able to get a clear understanding as to why BC rode around in his vehicle during the day, presumably after Chase was already dead, on his "errands" mission with Chase's cell phone. My theory is that BC was monitoring calls to Chase's phone to see whether his wife was trying to reach Chase, and, in the process, to make it appear to her that Chase was purposely not responding to her calls to further aggravate the rift between the couple.
It is a miracle, in my opinion, that we even got an answer as to what happened to Chase. Were it not for the persistence of the family and the searchers (dog team), we would have nothing. This case would have ended as a cold case.
All of the above is just my opinion.
