[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]There are a lot of shocking aspects of this story. But for me the most painful/unbelievable/horrible is how a child wrote “help me” on a note, and the parents didn’t help or react or anything. As a parent, I just don’t get it.[/b] [/quote]

People like this are not parents, or even human, they are selfish animals. [/quote]

Agree. Their child was in crisis and they didn’t even respond. Maybe they could have saved their son from throwing his life away. I don’t know how they are still living with themselves. Aside from the culpability to the victims’, they failed their own child.[/quote]

There must be such disconnect between these parents and Ethan. The fact that they would go on the run when he's in prison even further emphasizes it. [/quote]
They also hired prominent lawyers for themselves but left him with a public defender.[/quote]

I've wondered about this the entire time. I'd love to hear their lawyer's assessment of this.

Most likely their lawyers are being funded by an organization tied to gun rights.The org. did not offer to represent their son. It’s a boutique law office, no way they could afford this on their own[/quote]

This. The benefactors don’t care about the son - they know his case isn’t winnable. [/quote]

We shouldn't be surprised that a gun rights group would take this case. It'll be a blockbuster and could shift the way prosecutors treat gun owners whose guns are used in a crime like this. They are probably especially alarmed because this particular couple is highly unsympathetic for a host of reasons (former DUIs, dad skipping out on child support for previous kid, callous indifference to his cry for help, going on the lam, getting their own lawyer while kid gets a public attorney) and their actions and failures to act are specific and identifiable and really outside the norms of decent parenting. They are the perfect kind of people to make an example of. [/quote]

Also the prosecutor seems both sharp and ambitious. [/quote]
