    The parents of killer so insensitive and outtouch of reality your son killed someone and dismembered the body. Theres no redemption point of no return!!
  • @plants4thewin
    Hes trying to look "insane" but basically hes just jealous
  • @maybesad758
    Imagine how much anger and envy he had in his being to commit such an atrocity. Just disgusting. My condolences to the family 😓
  • @withlove176
    He’s replaying the murder back in his head. Look at his expressions.
  • He was never his friend, he probably was jealous of his friend accomplishment by graduating college. Evil 😈
  • @Avsfan23
    Look at him in court. He looks sadistic and has ZERO remorse
  • @causticwit2286
    The mother and father are seriously out of line with their impact statements. He brutally murdered his best friend, and in a horrific way. He needs to be in a small cell for the rest of his life.
  • @caras.4332
    Weird that we didn't hear anything about a motive..
  • @kuroneko7022
    You have to wonder who created this demon. He was obviously very jealous of his “best friend” and hated him. How does someone dismember a body, cutting through muscle, tissue, bone, how grisly and inhumane! You never know who are really your friends and the envy they have. Thank goodness not many people do this but these sorts are not even human. You can’t tell me this thing hadn’t been giving clues to his parents over the years. But, of course, they overlooked it . His attorney looks like he wants to throw up.
  • I can’t imagine someone could do this to their best friend out of jealousy or envy. In my opinion, something went seriously wrong mentally with him. He looks so indifferent in this video.
  • @joni8090
    Once Certain Red Lines have been Crossed their is No Return , quite Simply for Societies PROTECTION including his Parents ! 🙏

    Mental health is hardly a defence in court. It is only when the mental health interferes with a persons freewill or ability to discern between right and wrong. This guy preplanned the murder. It was not a random incident whereby he lost control of his will or reality. He knew it was wrong because of the fact they tried to hide it. Almost all inmates have a degree of mental health problem. However the question is does the mental health prevent them from having a guilty mind. In this case clearly not.
  • @marinaknife4595
    His mental health didn't stop him making preparations - writing lists - carrying out research & committing the act & hiding the victim's car. The the cold blooded murder's parents are vile especially their sniffling and their damn sniffing - anyone would think they were grieving parents.
  • @susieturk1
    The girlfriend is getting to him. His breathing totally changed.
  • Friend what a word that those clothe themselves in while committing evil deeds. I couldn’t plead for leniency if my child did that. WOW
  • Jealously is envy is horrible thing to have rip poor lad your mam and family will be in ny prayers 🙏🙏
  • @Avsfan23
    I also went to BYU-Idaho. If you’d like to be in a cult, go there.
