They did CW no favors with that interview, unless they're trying to show that he's somehow developmentally challenged and inept at making decisions regarding his own life and future.

 

[MassGuy]

Parents trying to humanize. The thing is by their own admission, CW has completely shut them out. He has refused to talk about the case with them. They know as much about the case as we do in terms of evidence and any secrets CW might still have. I think they will learn along with the rest of us what only CW and the State know right now soon enough. IMO

Well they are saying that his lawyers shut them out, not him specifically.

Poor CW is being railroaded!

I got quite pizzed off when the newsman asked them "was he leaving her, or was she leaving him?" and they shot back "He was leaving HER" (like they were pleased, he was justified) then dad said "he wasn't in love with her no more". Well a big fat so WHAT! He has 3 kids with her - guess what, it's not all about YOU anymore .
The selfishness stuns me and I can see they would have enabled/ encouraged it.

Yes, classy to leave your pregnant wife.

Will be interesting to see what, if any, national media outlets show interest in their story. Since they have no evidence to present, I just do not think there will be a great deal of interest. These two local networks did not even send their reporters to NC for the interviews and one was just a Skype type interview.

Yes, they seem to be proud that their son was leaving his pregnant wife and two small children because he 'didn't love her no more' (grammar, dad). It is like it is an excuse for him to murder?

Has this been posted? Sorry, not caught up today!

Oh my gosh, she's doing a media blitz on multiple channels! And she is stating that her son was coerced.

I can't believe how On Target all you guys have been about what the family Dynamics are, and what the mother would do and say!

Yep, ‘sorry I ruined your lives. I was hoping you would just not know and search forever for your grandchildren til your dying breaths rather than know the truth.’ If it happened at all the way he claimed in his affidavit, he would have called 911 and not gone into cover up mode. Period. Full stop. IMO.

Yes, that's it.

No! He did NOT kill her! He just fell out of love with her and was trying to leave his pregnant wife more than halfway through her pregnancy.

So which is it? He's either determined to leave his wife and start his own life over or he's so meek that he can't even stand up for himself and take charge of his own life. These excuses keep going around and around.

 

[ZsaZsa]

Not that either, but I am on the other side of the world.

Who was it that transcribed the AB show every night for us - maybe she could type it up ....?

Yes, but he was grown up enough to hide his little girl bodies where he thought no one would find them.

Exactly. But they will even find a way to justify and explain that.

If they had a video of him actually killing them, these people would probably just go with some sort of mental health excuse.

Anything to accept the truth.

That's it, too. He's not going to tell his parents that killed his little girls. Ever.

I can't remember the rules regarding phone calls for him while he's been in jail, but I know he's allowed visitors.

Per the DA, the plea deal has been in the works for weeks. It sounds to me like he either avoided his parents completely, or if talked to them, he never told them what he was doing. That's the impression I have.

I got the gist of it.

 

[mtnlites]

So could his attorneys seek legal ramifications against her? To insinuate that he was coerced and that his attorneys somehow bulldozed him into this decision just reeks of defamation.

Yes. It is all his own doing. It is his choice to shut them out. His lawyers work for him, not the other way around.

No one is shutting down communication unless that is what he wants.

Agree completely. I expect like me, others here try and imagine being at the scene of a crime, in that house, with our invisibility cloaks on, who said what, who died first, how did he do it? And I as a complete stranger can't visualise a man going into his child's bedroom, strangling her and then repeating it with the other child. So I can't blame his parents for literally not being able to believe it.
That's why I hope that, distressing as it will be, the grim details of exactly what CW did must be put out there (in a factual, non-sensationalist manner). Even then, I think some people will still create myths about this case.

 

[ZsaZsa]

These parents have obviously never told their son "You made your bed, now be a man and lie on it".

Yep, this is NOT tiny town justice a la My Cousin Vinny. He is getting the best public defense the state can give. They do not want embarrassment. There is no way he is being coerced nor his rights trampled, IMO.

 

[MassGuy]

Ha! I doubt he ever made a bed in his life.

Too complicated for him.

Has this been posted? Sorry, not caught up today!

At the 1:37 mark the reporter says, "And Cindy says this is based on the conversation - the 1/2 hour conversation she had with him shortly after he was arrested."

Did the reporter get that wrong? I thought the 30-minute conversation she had with CW was just prior (day before?) to the status hearing when he pled guilty. If she spoke with him shortly after he was arrested, why are they saying they haven't been allowed to speak to him? MOO
