I am afraid he is going to get some advice from jail house lawyers and say something like this:
I lied when I said my wife killed the girls. I was out of my mind with shock and grief. I was desperate.
The truth is, I was taking a supplement that had very bad side effects. I couldn't sleep or eat. I was going off the deep end, hallucinating and I didn't realize what was happening to me. I was erratic and irrational.
I ask for mercy because I have no idea how I could have done that to my family, that I loved so much.
Oh I think he's going to stick. But he may add that his reaction was murder and then odd because he was on stuff. But I predict he won't back down from his SW did it defense at this point. And this is a 180 for me. At first I thought he'd plead guilty after negotiation.
And you know, reading here the last few weeks and looking at some of the Facebooks groups devoted to the case- it might be a winning theory for him.
Despite the absolutely illogical, nonsensical story with no evidence to support it, and extremely powerful circumstantial evidence to support his complete guilt, people are willing to contort in various was and come up with all sorts of utterly baseless scenarios, that blame SW for her own death and/or that of her children.
It's odd. Some of those same people will deny the existence of the huge amount of actual evidence we know exists in this case, saying it's not evidence at all or it's circumstantial so it's irrelevant, and then they flail away with theories that have zero basis in anything at all.
What concerns me is I see a strong desire to excuse or protect CW among many. Some have clearly stated it's because they're dads too and can't see a dad doing that. Others have stated they've seen videos of him being a dad and there's no way. Some have said simply they can't imagine any father doing such a thing.
I think many see him as an attractive, middle class man and attractive, less poor defendants always fare much better in the criminal justice system. Juries tend to give them the benefit of the doubt.
And then there's SW. The resentment I've seen from people about this attractive, mother of two who seemed to have it all, is pretty incredible. And this is despite the fact that she was murdered.
People seem to resent her for being attractive and having a nice house, two beautiful kids and a life filled with trips. I've seen many scolding posts about how they had no business having a house that nice, for example and how she lived beyond her means.
But much of the antipathy comes from the way she portrayed herself on social media.
We all have seen studies about how social media causes depression because people feel they don't measure up. Of course most people don't post the bad stuff, simply because they don't want to be seen as downers. But regardless, people see others' happy posts and feel bad.
That creates anger toward those who display such happy social media lives. We've seen that in SW's own circle. A male friend of hers said he felt so bad about his own life due to SW's constantly happy posts that he "had to block her". What? Just get off social media! Or unfollow! You block people who do something wrong. Not because you're envious of their lives.
But it seems people really connect their own unhappiness with the "perfect" lives displayed by some on social media. And that builds anger.
I've seen so much of that against SW. She looks insane. (She has crazy eyes). She's forced her husband to display his private life against his will, on social media (even though people say his was exactly like hers). She's a phony, fake perfectionist. She must have been a controlling shrew. Her perfect closets clearly show she's has borderline personality disorder. Etc.
And I think his defense team is well aware of the attitudes out there and they're going to exploit that for all it's worth.
I say he sticks with his monstrous and ridiculous theory and I fear there are enough people who like him and hate her, that will believe it.
