We also need to remember that there are two men dead. The dad didn't have a history of child abuse and hadn't ever been convicted of any crimes. We haven't heard that he was an alcoholic or drug addict. In fact, we have heard nothing negative about the father to this point. It seems that this father was a hard working man who loved his family. He came home from work never dreaming that it was his last day on earth possibly by the hand of his 8 yr old son.

I don't understand ?? What do you mean?
Yes, there are two dead men. However, we do have
- record of domestic disturbance reports at the house
- comments from somewhere that dad & roommate did get into skuffs at a bar & had problems with other employees
- his own mother saying "they were too hard on him" regarding her observations of how they handled the child
- the child's 1,000 spanking comment & saying he was always in trouble
- the quoted statement of an official on the Laura Roberts blog from 11/22 which noted that there is evidence to indicate the child might be innocent of killing these men, but that it could not be discussed due to the gag order
So, maybe there is another culprit, and the child is a victim, too, and he didn't think it would be his father's last day on earth either.
Hey, and I'm a Leo, so I really love your hat, too! :crazy:ML, great minds think alike :blowkiss:
I think Trino meant that if the boy knew their would be a new addition to the family, he may have got jealous..
So, here's a thought...
Could we start another thread that lists only facts as we actually know them. No conversation, no theories. Just facts & the various statements of the witnesses as we know them to be thus far?
ie. There were casings found at _____
There was the grandmother's statement
There are the mother's statements
There are some specific quotes from the court filings, etc., that are not supposition, but statement...., etc., etc., etc.
It might help all of us get back to objectivity in just the facts, not the theories.
Whadda ya think?
Did we ever decide if we were going to do this?
or, since we're speculating, maybe vr wasn't the father & tif wanted out & found a way to pull a mary winkler -- only she didn't take the kid to keep him protected, she hung him out to dry & fed him a story to tell -- which he tried & got confused on & mucked up -- & she said to him something like "don't worry, your just a kid. You'll go to "juvie" for a little while, but they'll know it wasn't you & then you'll get out & it will all be ok" --- since we're speculating
.
We really don't even know that yet.We do not know if his son killed him yet.We need the facts.They are not out yet.

This would eventually come out in the evaluation and counseling.
Ah, ha. So you're admitting it is within the realm of a plausible possibility about which we have no available "evidince" which would currently discount it?![]()
YEAH, of course. LOL LOL![]()
What's the lol stuff? I think I might be half serious.![]()
Did I say that wrong.LOL
No, I was teasing you, 'cause the more I read about all of this, I really do wonder if the step mom should be questioned A LOT.
Off to pay the bills![]()
