I can understand him as a Christian and most especially it his son who done it .. in 2005 I got a call from the Philippines that my son was murdered by a drug addict. So I fly from Australia to the Philippines, I was devastated when I saw him already in the coffin. The next day I went to church and I prayed who ever done this I already forgiven him.. as far as I’m concerned there’s two Laws.. a mans law and a god’s Law. I leave everything to god, the case went on trial but bcoz we have no connection or whatsoever, the witness withdraw as they got scared. So they just pay kind of compensation and the case is closed. It’s devasted me I went back to Australia, all I do is to pray and forgive. But I miss my son so bad he’s only 25 yrs old when they took him away from me😢😢😢
Cindy Weir Losing someone to suicide is devastating, especially if it’s your teenage son, I lost many cousins to them hanging themselves all teenagers the youngest was 13 when he commited suicide. I’m sorry for your son and I know it hurts , keeping strong is the only thing we can do besides pray for peace.
Cindy Weir Trust me I use to blame God for everything I use to hate on God, but truthfully the omnipotent being is the only way I have of feeling some type of calmness and relief and peace. One Love From Above sister
Renee Moore this man is very kind but he’s absolutely naive and doesn’t understand that his son is a sociopath. There is no fixing his son. He doesn’t have a mental illness he’s just got a few screws lose
giggleherz whether you'd want to or not you can never TRULY forgive someone for killing your wife & child saying you forgive someone is very different than actually forgiving them
I feel so sorry for the dad. He just doesn't want to lose his last family member. It will put him in deeper pain. As a victim, he has the right to forgive the murderer (though I doubt the mother and brother would want to do so). There are people whose DNA go wrong. They don't have the sympathy for others. They don't feel what we feel. They don't see the world the same way we do. They are mentally sick. However, it doesn't exempt them from being guilty. They are called psychopath, and could develop into socialpath. Unfortunately, his son is one of them.
Father is sending a bad message to his murderous son. Forgiveness is different that minimizing the murders. Come on! This son DOES NOT love the father.
@@cohengamertv6548 Forgiveness is not what the son seeks. He allowed a very dark entity in. In fact, he INVITED a dark entity therefore he doesn’t even deserve the fathers forgiveness. The son is literally feeding off of his father and it’s very sick. I see right though it all 👁
David, I tend to agree with you (this 3 years later). One thing is for sure, I'd not trust being alone with him, ever. If he does not remain in jail, he's grown, he'd have to make his own way. I'd move and not tell him my address.
Justice for the Mom and son.You can forgive but never you will forget that he killed your wife and son.Justice must be served...I agree with the judge not to change the verdict.
Thomas “Bart” Whitaker's sentence was commuted to life in prison with no chance for parole for masterminding the fatal shootings of his mother and brother.
I am sorry for the father but I think he still has not clue about the real nature of his son. I think he feels guilty and his son is still manipulating him
This poor father is wracked with guilt, the son seems egotisticle and still acting as a victim. These murders were planned in detail for a while. It is so scarey how he still seems to be manipulating his father and knows exactly what to say
First off I wanna give huge props to this AMAZING father & human being for staying true to himself & not losing faith cause others would! God's judgement is far more important than those of the government/court however, at the end of the day, I believe the son did know what be was doing & so whatever his punishment is I feel like it's deserved! (I hate saying that, but it's the truth)!😔
You need help. Why don't you think about the murder victims instead of the murderer and his defendant? What is wrong with people like you? You make me SICK. You are just another anti-victim loser that plagues our society.
Sick and tired of trying to make sympathy for dirty killers blaming mental illness! These are disgusting killers, they should all rot in prison, never let back to society. The father is simply insane for protecting this monster. If any of my family members would do something like this evil, maliciously killing someone I would disown them immediately, would not protect a monster like that! No sympathy for this "father", he did society a crime by stopping his son's execution. He will be a burden on tax payer's money and possibly let back to society for "good behaviour" which is disgusting!
This guy is messed up and is still his sons enabler. All of his interviews are about Poor Bart. Plus I have read both him and his son were living on some book sales,books that Bart wrote and this guy helped to sell.
This is why they say LOVE IS BLIND, the son wanted his dad house and money....... The son said he killed his family cause he hated his self, no he ENVIED his dads money!!!!!!!!
I think its hard for any parent to come to terms w the fact that they have a bad seed. How the parents never checked on this troubled young man to verify his education (after catching him lying repeatedly throughout his youth) and just kept giving him money for a college he was not even attending is mind boggling!
Helena Jablonsky they are parents. i’m pretty sure that all parents do stuff like that in hopes that their children will do good. they can’t keep tabs on their adult son at every second of his life
It seems to me the father is in reality forgiving himself for all the enabling he did to his son. Thus, murder in the family. Spotlight is now taken away from wayward son, and put on "saintly forgiving father."
Someone would never understand what is in his heart unless not being a father. It is so devastating to lose his love ones and even hearbreaking to find out his son did it. And yet has shown unconditional love for his son. A living proof that no boundary would stop the love of parents to their kids and the love of God for us.
How could you stand by a killer who killed his own mother and brother he dined with them when he already planned their murder shame on you. He should serve his sentence to get justice for the victims.
He is only hanging onto his son because he is all that is left. My son was murdered. I understand the pain, but he is using the man he wanted dead just to live.
He said "But I also wasn't going to abandon my only son"......uhm, he wasn't your only son, he killed your other son. Forgiveness is great, but let's not forget two people were murdered, and forgiveness doesn't mean no consequences
Would y’all quit saying he has a mental illness ? This guy is clearly just evil. Mental illness can affect a lot but it doesn’t make people want to murder their entire family . These people feel no remorse
This is the very man who said " maybe the shooter was black" even tho a black cop have safed him deep down he has some hate for black people. I am not black and I have no sympathy for this guy at all.
dakidjahsiah what kind of fkd up thinking process do you have? The love of a parent for a child is colorless and if you don't know that by now, you have very very serious problems
K Brogan The son was spending the money. He had been enrolled but was failing and his dad didn't know. The story is a very long one. You can see it though, if you look for the videos.
I have been abused badly severely n told I was unloved for 22 years by my siblings n parents n bullied by everyone at school collage neighbourhood home in my life throughout childhood teens n early 20s still don’t go around murdering people. I have suspicions that this man n his son planned the murders
Its a good decision not to give him the death penalty. Let him rot and suffer in jail. Each passing day is a mental torture like a caged animal without freedom.
Bart costed the state of Texas a lot of dollars, it's ridulous. Why don people just plead guilty when & save the state money. With a father like Bart had, pleading for his life even Texas would not execute especially when his wife & other son was murdered. Why didn't his father talk him into pleading guilty
What a strong man. Jesus teaches us to forgive and deep down, real deep, if you dig real deep even in a situation like this we know what the right thing to do is. I commend this man for going through so much pain and agony and still coming out on the other side with light and peace in his heart. May the Lord grant you a happy and peaceful life the rest of your hopefully long years. You've already lived through enough agony, may happiness find its way into your heart Mr. Kent Whitaker. God bless you. Your story is truly an inspiration. Thank you for sharing it.
As a Christian, this touches me. What bothers me though is if most people who make these actions do it as a result of being mentally ill, how does freewill come into play here? This has troubled me greatly.
The father can believe whatever he wants to; however, his son's actions reach beyond him. He is a danger to society. He is only sorry he got caught so it is likely he will reoffend.
Forgiveness is a must for all . Saving his son is another step towards the love that Jesus died for all. No matter what he loved his son...it's a demonic attract on the family Praying for father and son.
In a rare decision, on February 20, 2018, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles unanimously recommended that the death sentence be commuted to life imprisonment. The recommendation from the seven-member panel was sent to Republican Governor Greg Abbott. Abbott accepted their recommendation, and commuted Whitaker's death sentence. If he only was black .....
fraerot The facts are all there. The son does not have a mental problem but a moral problem. The son probably smiled inside thinking it another win over his ever forgiving father.
The only reason that I can think of as to why the DA would seek the death penalty in this case is due to the fact that multiple people were killed and it was a murder for hire case.
The son is a sociopath. I don't believe he was suffering from mental illness. He has a personality disorder, and felt nothing for his family then, and nothing for them now. It's heartbreaking because they loved him, and the dad has unconditional love and the son is sadly just pure evil. Ughhh! So scary, wonder why he was so evil when he had everything. Sometimes spoiled kids grow up to sociopaths. Who knows
The criminal told the dispatcher that it was a black man who killed his family.. no one is talking about that. He sent the cops looking for the wrong killer. And you people are praising his committed death sentance. You are all sick.. it should have been your family.. then what would you say?
This is what u called...Unconditional love from a father to his son
Yes. I just feel sorry for him.. he is now left without a family due to his own son. It's crazy.
Sorry
I believe daddy was also involved.
Stfu.....his father is weak.

It’s odd how the father never seemed too upset about the crime. I watched this story on 20/20 a few years ago.

Wow!
A parents love really doesn't have any boundaries....
This is a hard one, I'm not sure how I would react...
I would still love him and stick to him but He did the crime and must pay for it.
we have boundind lol we wont allow you
Love means having boundaries. A parent can still love but not be in accordance with the sin of murder.
Prayers for the Father
His “mental illness”??? Seriously?? The son is a psychopath! Its hard for parents to face truth.

bless the father that he can forgive but he has to leave it to the courts
I watched this in forensic files a lot of evidence against him. He is Heartless cold blooded murdered. Rip to other son ans wife.
We never know what we would do in this situation until we walk it ourselves. This man life will never be the same
That's love right there! I don't know if I could do it!
Why these people blame everything on mental health, people who commit these crime are outright evil
He should not get the death penalty though, should be allowed to live to come to terms with what he had done
Out of love you can forgive but it doesn't mean you're in accordance with the breaking of the law.
You can with Jesus

He said "But I also wasn't going to abandon my only son"......uhm, he wasn't your only son, he killed your other son. Forgiveness is great, but let's not forget two people were murdered, and forgiveness doesn't mean no consequences
It was not hate for himself, it was greed for money. He would inherit a lot of money from all being dead.
Yep
That's seems the most logical conclusion. Hate for himself is bull. Lazy to work. Wanted money without working.
Execution is just.
This guy is delusional. His son murdered family for $. Of course he deserves the death penalty
I wanted to said that everything can happen to anyone but what hearts the most it’s to lose someone that you loved.
There was a forensic files episode over this case
Make sure this kids stays in the jail from many many many many years he's not right

A murderer is a murderer. You do not forgive.
If he was tired of being himself why killing and not suicide? That’s insane.

Forensic Files 👌
As a Christian, this touches me. What bothers me though is if most people who make these actions do it as a result of being mentally ill, how does freewill come into play here? This has troubled me greatly.
One thing that left unanswered is the hit man whereabout and his trial as well. ..
I felt deep pain and sadness for his father.
He was not executed..he was spared just 30minutes b4 execution and got life with no parole
The father can believe whatever he wants to; however, his son's actions reach beyond him. He is a danger to society. He is only sorry he got caught so it is likely he will reoffend.
Evil thoughts can snowball into action .... but no sign of mental illness is unlikely
