I don't know why he wasn't afraid, either, but interviews from way back describe him as not being afraid of a repeat occurrence. I have to wonder also what he had been told that would alleviate his concerns so well.JMO8778 said:I can't help but wonder why he wasn't afraid.I'd have been terrified if a sibling was killed in my own home.What on earth did they tell Burke that caused him not to be afraid?Or was it that he witnessed something(s) but repressed the memories,theyby not remembering what all happened,but subconciously beleiving he was safe???
I don't think he's at an age where he can handle the truth right now.I have a feeling when he gets to be middle-aged or so,(esp. once JR passes on and he can be more objective),he'll be scratching his head going..."..hey....wait a minute now...".:waitasec:
I don't think he can handle the truth right now, either. He's relatively young, still in the process of beginning his own life and attending college, and recently lost his mother. Questioning his sister's murder and who was responsible is most likely too much to consider with everything else going on.
I also think he'll begin pondering what really happened versus what he was told and how that plays into his own life later on, as he gets older - and after John has passed on. I would assume it would be heavy on his mind if he ever has his own children.
