What a miserable life SM was living. Can you imagine having TM following you around step for step, no access to the outside world, chained to the bed...totally humiliating! I do hope he takes the stand. NL needs to paint the picture of what that household looked like, a prison he was desperate to escape from. Getting rid of Heather was his only solution especially if she was pregnant.

I understand what you’re saying, but IMO there is always another solution before one resorts to murder. He may have felt he had no other solution, but SM always had a choice. In the beginning I thought he might have a conscience and give it all up, but at this point, and after seeing his behavior in the courtroom, I believe he’s as narcissistic and sociopathic as the rest of that family.
