[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it hard to read the "I don't think they were abused" or "it wasn't because of the abuse" comments, after reading details about the abuse that are too specific to reasonably be made up. The details sound credible and horrific. It was extremely frequent. There was "nice" sexual abuse and "bad" sexual abuse, depending on whether they were being punished vs "rewarded" for something. The kid snapped after they told him he couldn't leave for college, which he'd been holding out as his escape from the lifelong abuse. The mother actively enabled it. I find it entirely feasible that they were that desperate and angry and terrified, all of the things. It's not an excuse by any means, and it also doesn't mean they're good people (don't know them from spam), but I do believe that's what happened.[/quote]

They may have been abused.
Or they may not have been.

No one will ever really know the truth.

But I imagine if they had been abused, worst case scenario.
Then why didn’t they just leave their parents??
Even if their father took away all their money, they had other options.
They should have just left home, got jobs and got their own place.

They didn’t have to plan an elaborate murder, then cover their tracks so they could go on huge luxurious shopping sprees afterward.

Then when they got caught, claim they feared they would be murdered themselves so they acted in self defense.
Shooting someone in self-defense usually is justifiable when someone is in close proximity and is focused on hurting you.
