I hate when Erin asks question like “do you miss your parents” Of course someone will miss their parents when they are dead, no matter what the circumstances and her voice!

I understand where she’s coming from when she speaks about her brother— my brother has autism as well. I am empathic & understanding of the struggles & nuances. But he did it.

They said Brandon didn't know the value of a dollar! The saddest thing is that he didn't know the value of his parent's lives!

In the first case, the strongest evidence that tied Brandon to the crime was the fact that Felix had the keys to the house. Who gave him the keys, other than Brandon? Lauren should accept the fact that her brother had involved in the crime.
