Killer Cases: Two Moms Brutally Murdered in Deadly Stalking Rampage

[@rennayvidal2967]

His family is also disgusting. They were on his side and this man killed 2 women in cold blood!

[@-MattMcCauley-]

It literally was not "cold blood", you di not know what the term means. It was what is called "heat of passion", an adulterous wife confrontation. That does not excuse it or mean it is not murder, but it does mean it is not "cold blood". Stop using legal terms you do not understand. You watch too much TV.

[@rennayvidal2967]

It's laughable that so many seem to think she committed adultery. She's with someone new, and so was he. So who cares?

Doesn't want her family to get custody. When her family raised a loving person and mother. And, his family raised a murderer. Make it make sense.
