      While I to some extent understood his reasoning, but to minimise the catastrophic effects of his step daughters actions is not only doing a huge disservice to the victims, but also to any potential future victims of hers should be sway the judge to go light when sentencing her, particularly beibg so young could see her free before she's 30 years old and I truly believe she will categorically find herself in an identical situation should thst happen.

    Interesting how she only started screaming once she saw her stepdad; on the footage of her at the time she murdered her mum, she was calm, quiet and collected enough to use her mums phone pretending to be her in order to send a text. If you're in a state where you're terrified and out of control as he claims she appeared, you'd be terrified the entire time...she was even clear headed enough to go back to her mum and shoot her numerous times again after she heard her mum cry for help and realised she was still alive. How convenient that the hysteria began only when he arrived home. Insanity isn't selective like that.

    Hmmm, He sure doesn't seem to be the least bit emotional about the tragic death of his late wife who just died 6 months ago!! And how could Carly shoot her mother three times fatally but only shoot her stepfather in the shoulder and it didn't even require stitches? Knowing this in addition to his and Carly's nonverbal gestures in the courtroom between each other is very suspicious to me. Could he have been involved somehow in the planning of this tragic death of Ashley? How did this man benefit from his wife's death? Curious to explore this a bit further..... Don't know if anyone will. Carly, you need to spend the rest of your life in a psychiatric hospital. Your poor mother didn't deserve the way her life was taken.

    Did you see him smile at her? Creepy. Maybe she killed her mother to be with him. He was only wounded. She texted him asking when he would be home. Was it a code that the deed was done? Sounds like a plan to me.

    It just blows me away how Americans think it's normal to have a house full of guns. Definitely a whole different culture in the US.

    I believe him. Imagine walking into such a scene. I do agree you gotta keep your guns up and away from children even if they’re not loaded it’s not that hard to get ammunition and load them up even if they don’t get the ammunition from the house you have to think about stuff like that when you have dangerous weapons, easily assessable to anybody that may come along. I’m sorry for the loss of his wife.
