How many DECADES did this family get away with their dirty deeds? Generations. How many people got a raw deal because of their power and influence? I am not at all happy about what transpired here, only the fact their reign of power is finally over.
Never forget. The REAL victim in this case is the girl who got killed in the boat accident. It's heartbreaking to hear/see her boyfriend's reaction after the "accident". RIP to that girl and condolences to her family, boyfriend, and friends.
Alec got addicted to drugs, lied to his wife , stole from his firm . he shouldn've taken his own life instead of killing his wife and son.He is a psychopath.
Happy he'll never be released from prison. An absolute rotten family.
Shame on Alex for trying to blame the murders on the victims of the boating accident. Truly, selfish!
Joking one minute with his wife and son, and almost literally the next minute gunning them both down. Textbook sociopath!!
The son speaking for his father in court...coaching your sports team doesn't make him a good guy. John Wayne Gacy was a clown at kids birthday parties and yet his house was full of young men's bodies
When Alec said, "That dog will bark at everyone he doesn't know," and I didn't hear Bubba barking at anyone! That told me everything about Alec's guilt.
Alec is a terrible liar. Buster laughing at his dad's fake crying when he videoed him didn't help. The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
Dude he could have liquidated half of his assets and started over and still lived good.
