Theres a whole string of bad judgements going on here.
What do you mean?Theres a whole string of bad judgements going on here.
Can someone explain to me why the suspects are each charged with only one count of first degree murder but 4 for second degree? Seems this was premeditated...which as far as I know would constitute 4 counts of murder in the first. Unless its redundant because one count is all you need for life in prison? Just trying to understand. Also, per the article, I found it interesting that one of the victims was covered with a sheet, and I have to wonder why. Generally that CAN indicate remorse...I wonder if it was BM, as she was the one that the suspect knew. Moo

Did you read the linked Daily Beast story above & think Brandy was trying to scam people?
I’m not negating your thoughts. A bag of weed... even a very LARGE bag would not on the streets be worth killing 4 people in that manner. Definitely not killing two small children. Doesn’t add up.
Though I agree with The Karambus, sometimes motives can be mixed.I've got a gut feeling this has to do with drugs/drug money. I hope I'm wrong.
My heart breaks for all affected by this horrific crime but more so for the surviving son. This case is gut-wrenching.
Though I agree with The Karambus, sometimes motives can be mixed, For example, the primary motive maybe drugs, but an aggravating motive maybe that the victim(s) had defied the perpetrator(s) in the course of an ongoing drug dispute.
This then could supply a reason for the more extreme violence, especially if the defiance was public and thus potentially humiliated the perpetrator in front of others. Then factor in that if, in the perpetrator's mind, the possible humiliation was done by somebody of lower status in the local drug scene, there might be overkill violence as the perpetrator must not only save face, but unquestionably re-establish his own status.
If convicted of first-degree murder, the pair would face life in prison without the possibility of parole. The top count is based on the multiple deaths in the case, Rensselaer County District Attorney Joel Abelove said. He said he met with the families afterward.
I am tending toward the belief that this was a hate crime, because Brandi had relatively recently entered a same sex relationship.
Oh I hope not... my cousin was murdered in 2000 and it was a hate crime. Most of us didnt know he was gay until after the incident took place and it came out in the motive. The man alleged my cousin came onto him, fully naked, so he stabbed him to death because he hates f@g$
The only silver lining was that he made those statements throughout the process and that lead to a guilty plea and additional time for the hate crime.
This is just a thought. What if Brandi knows that the suspect sells drugs. She approaches him about selling some drugs to get Christmas presents for the kids. He fronts her the drugs but for some reason she doesn't pay back the money. So this was his revenge.

Ummmmm aren't we just throwing out theories?sillybilly's 12/29 post:
This post is landing at random.
Websleuths is victim friendly. Victim bashing is not allowed.
If you have an MSM link that supports a theory that drugs were involved, link it up !! Otherwise, don't go there.
Thanks.
Ok I'm not able to delete, so a mod is welcome to.Yes, but not by suggesting the victims were involved in criminal acts that may have contributed to their deaths.
This article says this happened at 9:00pm on the 21st according to details in the Troy City Court...curious how this time was determined...a witness to something, someone talking, someone heard something?
They are due back in court Thursday.
