Gladly, he'll have a hard time in prison. It's well known that people who hurt/kill/molest kids don't do well in the slammer.

 

And I hope he suffers as much as possible. Mean? you betcha.

I suspect he entered into the plea deal after the forensic reports came back which did not support his story #2, that his wife killed the girls.

 

Prosecutors agreed to the deal because there was such a slim chance he would be executed in any event, i.e. they couldn't do any "better."

 

He took the deal because someone advised him while the death penalty was very, very, rarely enforced, if there was going to be an exception, it would be him. 

 

Do the math.

@MarieIG, I agree that forensic likely did not support his story. As I stated earlier, the DA has said he would give more details after the sentencing.

I think it is very scary that you really don't know what is in another person's head.  Husbands and wives killing each other is awful but the poor children should not have to die.  I don't know why he could not have left them out of it.

From all that I have read and heard, he wanted to be totally unencumbered. Basically, start with a clean slate. He would have been supporting the children financially. He is believed to be a sociopath or psychopath. A "normal" person couldn't have looked at those sweet girls and choked the life out of them. I pray they didn't have to look at his face while he did so.

Re: Colorado Dad To Be Sentenced Monday

 

T.V. stations keep showing one of the little girls on video saying that her daddy is

her hero. So sad.

 

Saw the interview with his parents. Of course they believe everything their wonderful

boy is saying. They did not even go to the wedding of their son and his now dead

wife.

 

Seems like once he started working out, losing weight, he fell more in love with 

himself. Too bad he won't be executed for killing four people, three of which were

babies.

Some people are saying/speculating that he was an "abused husband" who finally "snapped."

@YorkieonmyPillow.  From what I have read it is his parents saying this.

@proudlyfromNJ   I watched an interview with his parents and I agree with you. They - especially the mother - seem to be in complete denial. I concluded this is a defense mechanism. She can't allow herself to believe her son could do something so horrendous to his wife and their children.
