Personally, I don’t believe he feels remorse at all. But he’s also apparently not that much of an idiot to take his chances. Anyone who has watched the remote body cam video of him that day, the whole disgusting display of total disregard for his dying daughter and utter self-absorption, as well as read any of the testimony of the previous Daughter knows that this guy was toast, his attorney knew it, and I think convinced him it was in his best interest to take a plea. I am sure the jury would have found him as despicable and unsympathetic as I have.
This is not your typical hot car death, not by a long shot. He repeatedly engaged in what amounts to Russian Roulette with his daughter’s lives. There is plenty of evidence of that that would have been admitted.
I have mixed feelings about the plea. I hoped to have all his misdeeds and bad behaviors brought to light and exposed, particularly so Erika could see and hear it in one fell swoop and she could realize what an absolute low-life loser she has chosen over her daughters and her own mother.
All I can say is I hope the judge doesn’t let him go off on another Hawaiian vacation before he starts serving time. Or that he doesn’t do a runner.
Oh and Erika? Once your hubby is locked up, make better choices.
this was not on purpose, how he made her die. these poor girls
