I stopped watching after listening to the 911 call serious trigger warning ....I decided to continue to watch...no excuse for this horrific tragedy... This is the only way they saw fit?

In this case, though, they (the brothers) may have done themselves a favor by talking and emoting spontaneously w/o an attorney. And I'm not saying this is often a good idea. But I think their parents' subsequent empathy helped mitigate the sentencing and perhaps have an impact on parole date.

You are so lucky, I’m jealous. I grew up with a drug addicted alcoholic mother, no father. At 13 my mom had brain cancer and surgery. What I ended up with was a crazy person I didn’t recognize. Basically, I parented myself all my life. Of course I ended up an addict myself until I got clean. When I had my own children I decided I would do the exact opposite of everything my mom did. My 3 boys are adults now and they’re all wonderful young men. Knowing what I know now I cannot understand why my mother didn’t love and cherish me like I love and cherish my kids. They are my everything. Why couldn’t I be my mom’s everything? Sad, huh.

Working 80 hours bi weekly at a full time job making minimum wage back then could not buy you a house in any community. If it could , I will get my popcorn and wait for you to give me that story. A mobile home is what it MIGHT get, and a mobile home is a declining automotive asset. Today the minimum wage is 7.25, in some places, 8.25 in others, with it supposedly being 15$ by 2025 or sumthin. Same buying power as in 1987. Today, you MIGHT be able to buy a mobile home. The point I'm trying to make, no matter how much people believe that outside forces have prevented them from doing whatever, no problems are going to be solved by bichn at anyone. I only made the statement of I had to work just like the original poster of the comment. nobody helped me, nobody offered either. It didn't help me to be bichn about they should have.

True, but after 18, the primary person responsible for taking care of you is you, and anything your parents provide is a extra and a gift, not something you are owed for life. If you have good parents, great, and if your parents are awful, over 18 you now now get to go make your own way in the world and set your own rules. Not always, but often staying home just traps adult “kids” in a kind of perpetual adolescence, where they unnaturally think they should still have the “low demand, low responsibility, parents pay my bills” life of a 13-year-old indefinitely, and get angry if denied this. Those who feel owed continual care as adults can sit home wallowing in decades old grudges against the aging parents and blaming parents for their own failures and frustration, which can lead to violence.

[@The_Joy_Finder]

Curious to know what you think about this: this is really really scary to me. I think that the older sibling explaining that his parents were NOT really rich, only explained that they HAD TO WORK HARD and LONG HOURS, which is why they did NOT have time for their KIDS; yet they had time for a TV show which the kids grew to HATE. I blame the MOTHER for not being a mother, and I blame the FATHER for not RECOGNIZING what was going on in HIS home. I don't believe either story: i don't believe the mama, nor the two sons, especially not the eldest son because HE HAD BEEN OUT OF THE HOME FOR YEARS AND THE ONLY THING HE SAID BAD ABOUT HIS MOTHER WAS THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR THEM - plus he was found in the bathroom upstairs KNOCKED unconscIous by a GUN, the mother was ALREADY BEATEN but didn't sound like it (no CRIES, no PANTING, NOTHING), the FATHER and the younger son in the garage (I assume the father TRIED to escape). I think that the MOTHER gave the gun to the YOUNGER SON, told him to go kill his father BEFORE he could get away, he LOST the gun by knocking out the eldest brother (Where was the GUN found by the police ???), then grabbed a KNIFE (maybe he was CHARGED by the father, then the father ran to the garage to get away ???), PLUS, WHY DID THEY WAIT ALLLLLL NIGHT ???????? At any rate, according to the police, the father was in the GARAGE stabbed several times, and one of the sons was also there in the garage with the father, and the second son was ON THE FLOOR UP STAIRS KNOCKED OUT BY A GUN (not the weapon used to kill ANYONE - was the gun even LOADED???) ? And why was the mama so COOL, CALM, & COLLECTED on that call and giving a READY MADE MOTIVE and POSSIBLE MURDER WEAPON to the police (like, if they were trying to kill BOTH parents, then why not just SHOOT HER FIRST, and why was the eldest unconcious by a hit with the very gun SHE said would be used to kill her husband ???)??? I think that the YOUNGEST SON was told to kill his own FATHER, the eldest brother found out and TRIED TO STOP HIM but got HIT OVER THE HEAD WITH THE GUN (was he hit in a spot that knocks a man unconscious ???). The gun was somehow lost or USELESS with NO BULLETS (by this time the father is awake and trying to escape!). Then the 17 year old was charged by the father, or the 17 year old grabbed a knife from the kitchen and ran after the father, and then proceeded to stabbing his father. I would like to know WHERE DID THE STABBING take place in the home (the garage, or did it START some place else?). The other thing I would like to know is was the mother having an affair of ANY kind, and if she had ever showed SIGNS OF PHYSICAL ABUSE, or ever COMPLAINED TO FRIENDS/FAMILY ABOUT MENTAL/EMOTIONAL ABUSE, or simply COMPLAINED about her husband AT ALL. Plus, WHY DID SHE PUT DOWN THE PHONE (like it was a SECRET), only to tell her SON(s) that she had CALLED THE POLICE ??? Did she tell BOTH sons or just ONE son that she had called the police ? and if she told BOTH sons, then from the time she made the call, until the police arrived, when was the ELDEST SON KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS ??? ******************Naw, I think that THE MOTHER used that time to tell her children that THEY needed to take the BLAME because of their AGE ! I don't know, but her story about the GUN just doesn't make ANY sense, because why didn't she mention the one son KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS ??? Plus, SHE said that BOTH SONS went DOWNSTAIRS after their FATHER, but that wasn't true, that was a LIE !

We are hearing one side of a story. Too easy to criticise parents without all of the facts. Either way, it wasn't physical or SA.

Their lives are not ruined. They got 10 years. And I absolutely blame the parents. The father is definitely a narcissist. My mother acts just like this. She will put on a mask and pretend she is a innocent woman of God. Yet would abuse my brother and I mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. The father was trying to force them to do things that were not in there hearts desire. They had other plans and dreams. Them both as parents are supposed to support them no matter what. That's what's wrong with a lot of parents. "Monsters", are created somehow. Just like a school shooter. They were most likely bullied and mistreated at home.

what if the mother told them to confess? what do you think about this? this is really really scary to me. I think that the older sibling explaining that his parents were NOT really rich, only explained that they HAD TO WORK HARD and LONG HOURS, which is why they did NOT have time for their KIDS; yet they had time for a TV show which the kids grew to HATE. I blame the MOTHER for not being a mother, and I blame the FATHER for not RECOGNIZING what was going on in HIS home. I don't believe either story: i don't believe the mama, nor the two sons, especially not the eldest son because HE HAD BEEN OUT OF THE HOME FOR YEARS AND THE ONLY THING HE SAID BAD ABOUT HIS MOTHER WAS THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR THEM - plus he was found in the bathroom upstairs KNOCKED unconscIous by a GUN, the mother was ALREADY BEATEN but didn't sound like it (no CRIES, no PANTING, NOTHING), the FATHER and the younger son in the garage (I assume the father TRIED to escape). I think that the MOTHER gave the gun to the YOUNGER SON, told him to go kill his father BEFORE he could get away, he LOST the gun by knocking out the eldest brother (Where was the GUN found by the police ???), then grabbed a KNIFE (maybe he was CHARGED by the father, then the father ran to the garage to get away ???), PLUS, WHY DID THEY WAIT ALLLLLL NIGHT ???????? At any rate, according to the police, the father was in the GARAGE stabbed several times, and one of the sons was also there in the garage with the father, and the second son was ON THE FLOOR UP STAIRS KNOCKED OUT BY A GUN (not the weapon used to kill ANYONE - was the gun even LOADED???) ? And why was the mama so COOL, CALM, & COLLECTED on that call and giving a READY MADE MOTIVE and POSSIBLE MURDER WEAPON to the police (like, if they were trying to kill BOTH parents, then why not just SHOOT HER FIRST, and why was the eldest unconcious by a hit with the very gun SHE said would be used to kill her husband ???)??? I think that the YOUNGEST SON was told to kill his own FATHER, the eldest brother found out and TRIED TO STOP HIM but got HIT OVER THE HEAD WITH THE GUN (was he hit in a spot that knocks a man unconscious ???). The gun was somehow lost or USELESS with NO BULLETS (by this time the father is awake and trying to escape!). Then the 17 year old was charged by the father, or the 17 year old grabbed a knife from the kitchen and ran after the father, and then proceeded to stabbing his father. I would like to know WHERE DID THE STABBING take place in the home (the garage, or did it START some place else?). The other thing I would like to know is was the mother having an affair of ANY kind, and if she had ever showed SIGNS OF PHYSICAL ABUSE, or ever COMPLAINED TO FRIENDS/FAMILY ABOUT MENTAL/EMOTIONAL ABUSE, or simply COMPLAINED about her husband AT ALL. Plus, WHY DID SHE PUT DOWN THE PHONE (like it was a SECRET), only to tell her SON(s) that she had CALLED THE POLICE ??? Did she tell BOTH sons or just ONE son that she had called the police ? and if she told BOTH sons, then from the time she made the call, until the police arrived, when was the ELDEST SON KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS ??? ******************Naw, I think that THE MOTHER used that time to tell her children that THEY needed to take the BLAME because of their AGE ! I don't know, but her story about the GUN just doesn't make ANY sense, because why didn't she mention the one son KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS ??? Plus, SHE said that BOTH SONS went DOWNSTAIRS after their FATHER, but that wasn't true, that was a LIE !

Parents have GOT TO STOP 🛑 Living Their Lives Through Their Children. Let your child grow up & become who they want to be in life. Stop forcing things they don’t want to do .

[@isbeltv]

I may have an unpopular point of view about the "motive". What I am seeing are two boys in a state of disassociation (the older one more so than the younger) after years of weaponized silence & transactional love by their parents. What happened that night, was the culmination of years of psychological torture in the heads of those two boys triggered by the father's assault on the younger brother, which was seen as as the final straw in this lifelong injustice, giving way to their darker instincts in the human psychology that sought retribution against their "parents" for being their " their abusers". Although, I may not be able to comprehend ever hurting my parents (I love them dearly), I also know that there are plenty of household where children are regularly humiliated (silent treatment, mockery, induced in-sibling rivalries etc.) if the child fails to meet a standard that purely benefits the parent. Often, the reward for following the parent's wishes, is the parent's "Love" (ie - Their father: Play football & in exchange, I will "Love" you). For ANY human being who grew up in a household like this, this is deeply hurtful. Although not physical, it IS A VIOLENT ACT against the sanctity of a child's innocence. Over time, as the child grows up, this wound does not go away until the parent outweighs the damage by celebrating their child's self worth outside of their parent's wishes-- while in full receipt of the parent's unconditional Love & adoration. As a society, we may assign the criteria of a "parent" to these boy's mother/father, but the brother using lyrics of a song to describe how he felt, & the older bother's recollection of life events with stifled breakdowns, leads me to believe that communication (or, lack thereof) was weaponized in that home. As social creatures, It is through frequent communication with the parent, that the child internalizes ideas about themselves through what their parents or primary caretakers, are telling them. Words signify ideas that provide the child a framework to decipher their parent's wishes, motivations, & to assure themselves that -- in fact -- they are loved just because they exist. Sounds like these parents were poor communicators, & accross 17 (younger brother) & 22 (Older brother) of existance without proper communication, those boys were left to come up with their own framework to decipher how to appease their parents, who appeared to only care if the boys obeyed. If you can draw parellels to circumstances in human history, where subjects are hungry for fundamental resources (food, shelter, water) they will engage in acts of violence against their tyrant (not, always, but frequently enough). In like fashion, a child who has come to the conclusion (I say "child" since childhood wounds accompany you no matter how older you get) that their parents are witholding love to torture them for not making them happy, may enter a state of absolute rage, since there was no reason the parent should have witheld such a fundamental resource that was needed for their development.

[@nursehoney24]

She’s trained to keep the caller talking & on the phone. Help has already been dispatched within seconds of that call. The only way that dispatcher can assess an unseen situation, is ask as many questions as you can, also very importantly, all those questions helps them determine how safe that scene is. Also repeating questions will help keep the caller calm as they’re waiting for the help that’s on the way. I know it sounds & seems so inhumane at such a tense & crucial time, but the longer they can keep that victim that’s fighting for their life talking & answering questions, it could very well lots of times, be the very thing that keeps that victim fighting & hanging in there until paramedics & cops reach that destination.

Why are you assuming he never did? He clearly says at mark 19:00 both brothers were meant to be out of the house for the Navy and the youngest, soonest he graduated. He seems very protective of his younger brother - he keeps saying “we did this … we did that”, while the younger brother takes full responsibility, saying “I stabbed my father … I poured gas all over the house” , suggesting the older is covering for him. How do you know he never left because he didn’t want to leave his younger brother with his parents? He clearly says at the start of the interview, his father had started physically abusing his younger brother - slapping him etc. - and, in the interview with the younger brother, the younger brother says the older was constantly in the habit of breaking them apart when physical fights between the two of them escalated. Didn’t the older brother say, at the start of the interview, the younger brother fled home for weeks after a physical altercation with his father? Did we watch the same interview? We shouldn’t always draw conclusions so rapidly and be quick to condemn people because we will never know the complete truth of what happened, only the people who were actually there. I’m inclined to believe these parents are not at all innocent also and created an emotionally toxic home for their children.

For all of those sympathizing with these men, you should be aware that when this story first occured, a relative described them as getting everything they wanted. The oldest son went to 3 colleges in 3 years then enlisted in the Airforce but dropped out of basic training. The oldest son was trying to garner sympathy with the detective who immediately picked up on the motive when he described his other friends having trust funds and driving Maseratis. The full extent of what occured was not relayed. Both could have left at anytime especially the oldest. There are two sides to every story and the fact that both parents forgave their sons is a testament to their love.
