"Victims in Triple Murder Were Growing Marijuana."

If so, this is truly tragic as many people have a few medicinal plants growing in their houses. This retired couple looked so old and small-time, lived in a very cold, snowy canyon and thus didn't grow outside, and the lady was ill and maybe just trying to treat her pain, inflammation, and immunity struggles after a kidney transplant.

I'm thinking some crazy idiot somehow got word of a "grow house," from a friend of a friend, and stupidly targeted that couple and relative.

THIS WHOLE THING WAS TRAGIC. My family has been devastated by the horrific acts of a guy they knew his whole life. Kelly was godmother to his brother. Lance gave him skills and a trade in Hvac. Lee was just collateral damage to Garrett.
You obviously knew them some and I appreciate your kind and honest words. There was Kellys kidney transplant, 6 mths before the murders, and Lance had severe R.A..
I am glad the ordeal of trial is over and that he will never see freedom again.

A triple murder suspect pleaded guilty in a Boulder County courtroom on Thursday after his initial murder conviction had been overturned.

A reason why Garrett Coughlin was given the chance to plead guilty to second-degree murder was that prosecution was unable to call Yvonne Woods (a DNA analyst with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, who is now facing criminal charges over data tampering), to testify in his case.
