This and
@Megnut's post made me think a lot about information provided to the family. If it were me, and my son told me straight up he killed people, it would be hard not to hold it against him. I would want to pull my energy back. I would be questioning a lot of things. I believe he didn't want to rupture that relationship so he has side stepped it, stating he was trying to avoid the DP, pleading guilty. I don't think even a mother would want to talk to her son that much if known to be guilty. I've read somewhere (I don't know if it's actually true now) that his father pointed out that he was framed. This just may have been what was told to a neighbor or acquaintance and was via Daily Mail. Hopefully, I am remembering that correctly.
Let's put it this way, denial is not a river in Egypt. There might be some grappling and behavior adjustments going on here for awhile. JMOO
Good points.
I agree, and would guess his Mother is in a world of hurt and needs time to grapple with it all and her son living in prison for the rest of his days. Convicted for committing the murders of 4 innocent college kids, so viciously and heinously, in cold blood breaking into their home in the dead of night and then fleeing and moving cross country back home, where his sisters became suspicious of him.
I can't imagine what it must be like for his parents to live with that knowledge, and would not blame them if they hope for some peace in their daily lives now and wish to dial back on their interactions with him.
It's understandable if his Father may be in denial as a coping mechanism and is holding on to a scenario in which his son was framed.
Maybe that's why he (and their other daughter maybe for other reasons of her own) didn't attend him giving his guilty plea to the court and sentencing.
I do recall his brave Mother was there, and was seen shaking and holding her head in her hands.
Wishing their family peace and healing. To have to accept on any level that their son and brother did this must be excrutiatingly painful to come to terms with, and their family and lives of the victims' families lying in ruins.
I hope now he is tucked away for eternity in the prison system, they will have some breathing room from him and his terrifyingly disturbed beyond hope or help personhood as the days and years go by... bye bye Bry. The only tear in my eye is for all the victims.
May your 23 hour a day "alone time" put you in a position to feel some remorse for what you decided to do. Maybe not likely, but there should be some hope of it before you die.
MOO
