Honestly this won’t be the last time we see him in a murder trial.
Unbelievable, he kills both of his parents and walks away free.
The fact that he killed his father should have been admissible in court.
Got away with killing both his parents in completely separate incidents. I thought for sure he was going to pay for his mom's murder but nope, we'll have to wait until he murders someone else.
The fact that the prosecution wasn’t able to bring up that he killed his father 18 months prior was unbelievable.
Anyone that gets into a relationship with him is risking their life.
I wonder how the jury felt when they later heard he had killed his father?
I was in total disbelief hearing the verdict in this case.
The smirk on his face after the verdict was read! So vile, cold, and ruthless!
