I really hope they look into the other deaths, too. I'd bet anything that poor housekeeper was murdered.

Turns put that going on the stand and saying "Yeah, I'm a liar, but you have to trust me, I am not a murderer!" was not a winning strategy.

You know some people will say it was lying to much that did him in. I say it wasn't lying enough!

Also killing those people.

Did it get explained in the trial what his motive was for killing his wife and kid?

Well on one hand he was a narcissistic rich rear end in a top hat psycho.

On the other, he killed his narcissistic rich rear end in a top hat psycho son, so perhaps knock a few years off his sentence.

This guy also seemed real dumb regarding the profession he was supposed to be good at, he told his son on the prison phone that he didn't know what a habeus corpus petition was.

It's probably overall a good thing that he removed himself and his family from having any influence or power over prosecuting the law, despite the circumstances being horrific

In situations like this, I always wonder about the dynamics of these people's social circle. Are his buddies at country club sincere friends who were indifferent to how lousy he and his family were? Did they think he was a piece of poo poo but were obliged to be polite and invite him to Christmas dinner? Were they secretly hoping something like this would happen?

The trial was pretty much just the prosecution listing off his crimes and all the clear evidence with very little resistance from his defense, and him sitting with a thousand yard stare. It was almost a joke as a trial bc he pretty much had nothing to respond with.

Knowing he had ties to local govt and legal folks, I'm pretty sure they only brought him to trial because at this point they had so much evidence there was no way for him to escape.

the best defence they had was some "he was too tall to shoot them at this angle" and then the prosecution tore that apart.

they probably just ignore it. that or its some its the case of "they all hate each other but class "forces" them to be friends".
