A man who would murder his mother over money. Gives new meaning to the word "despicable".

[@dianawatton7570]

My mother-in-law took away my husband's inheritance that his father meant for him to have but thank God my husband was Not the Killing Type but he did die penniless and still struggling, in fact so am I. My good husband of fifty years is gone to heaven now. God bless him. I get by on Social Security living alone. We both worked 22 years on the Family Farms giving our Blood Sweat and Tears and ended up with his 80-acre inheritance stolen by his mother and his sisters.

[@kenyattaclay7666]

The mother was 85 so the son would've likely been in his 60's, very late 50's at minimum. He'll, it's also Alabama so he could have been damn near 70 at the time.

[@whatevergoesforme5129]

@@kenyattaclay7666 Justifying the look of the actor by making conjectures that the mom could have given birth at 15 doesn't cut it. I have never seen an old person who looks older than his/her parents unless the latter is very sick. Aging is aging and grown children in their 50s or 60s would not look like the spouse of an 85 yr old. I don't know your age but look at your pictures every decade and if you reach 80, compare those pics with your 80 yr old self.

[@williamegler8771]

Why do people expect to inherit anything? The murder victim in the first part of the video was married to her first husband for over fifty years. Whatever money or other material possessions accumulated during that time is her's upon her husband's death. Unless the son was left something in his father's will he isn't entitled to anything. He should have worked to accumulate his own possessions instead of trying to live off what his parents accumulated over a lifetime . Inheritance is a gift not something you should count on. You should be happy that you were remembered by the deceased and be grateful for what you inherited. But if you don't inherit anything it was the deceased decision and you shouldn't be mad about it.

[@granmabern5283]

[@joannedeal3418]

In the last one, why did the husband's mother not leave the children at her son's house? She knew the childrens' mother would be coming to collect them in accordance with the Court Order. Was she a conspirator with him in this murder? She didn't get on with Darlene. I think his mother did conspire with her violent son in the murder of her daughter in law, and she should have been charged as an accessory and spent years in jail as an accomplice. There was no excuse for her not to have brought the children back in time. I'm surprised the Police didn't question her. I am surprised that Darlene let him get in her car, but it seems more likely that he pushed his way in when she said she'd drive to his mother's to pick up the children. I'm also surprised that she would go to his on her own: better to take one of her family or friends with her. Incidentally, since the childrens' father was violent and abusive, why did the Law allow him to have partial custody of the children? He would certainly have been violent to them as well at some point, because habitually he turned to violence when he didn't get his own way, like so many men. People don't change and it always amazes me that anyone even believes that such abusers ever will change. He proved by this murder that he was a psychopath. I hope the children hated their father and his family for the murder of their mother.

Second case turo or whatever his name was He got 45 years it’s been about 20 wonder if he’s out

[@lauraatkinson4790]

The last info I found on him, he had appealed the verdict about 3 or 4 times, the last appeal being in 2006 (it was dismissed because the statute of limitations for the particular type of filing Turro made had past before he'd appealed). In one of those, the verdict was overturned on appeal because the judge decided that the jury couldn't have found Turro guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt", but then a higher court (I guess the DA's office appealed the judge's ruling) and that judge ruled that the earlier judge basically had no business trying to second guess the jury's ability to come to a determination of guilt and so sent the appeal back to the earlier judge with instructions to be mindful of that. From what I could make out of it all, it looks like the case was retried, but the defendant was again found guilty (I think that was 1998). I couldn't find any inmate record of him in the TX DOC inmate search, though, which probably means he was paroled (the search only covers current inmates).
