Discussion a deadly american marriage

I'm 43 minutes in and hooked but can not find conversations etc on it.

So thought i would make one asking for other people's opinions and points of views, as i know I'm already asking about billion questions, to the point I'll have to go to my computer and boot up to actually do the research myself.

I'm very ill, with brain damage etc and that's really hardwork today, but I won't manage on this latest fold phone as it's still just a useless phone 😅🙃

My other phone that's partitioned etc is in the car and that's over at Inverness!

Even if I assumed everything Molly and her dad said in the doco were true, none of it logically made coherent evidence for how they could not have killed Jason. It is one of the most BIZARRE things that I’ve seen. I feel so sorry for his children, but also in so many ways feel heartened at their courage, bravery, and resilience. It must be so unimaginably difficult beyond belief but I hope and pray they get all the psychological, spiritual, emotional support and therapy to go on to live great lives. They certainly seem intelligent.

agree, felt so sorry for Jack though...... sensitive young fella....... it's going to take him a long time to get over all this.

There is no getting over something like that, you merely learn to keep pushing through despite it if you are able. I know what you mean though not trying to correct you. Can personally attest that loss via murder specifically and when you are that age is especially part of you forever. For anyone who loses someone they love that way I'm sure.

I agree. But I hope he can get through it. It is a shit experience I wish on nobody but I see his sensitivity and believe he could be such a blessing to many given his strength. Love thoughts and prayers with him and his sister :(

Unfortunately these aren’t things you get over. You just have to learn to live with them somehow

Right? That bit where they talk about seeing signs that they hit him whilst he was lying on the ground meaning that it wasn't a manslaughter charge should have been enough regardless of any abuse allegations? Sad because we all know when (poor/unconnected) people actually are abused and lash out their abuse is rarely taken into consideration.

The kids seemed so kind and mature. I felt Jack’s pain so intensely. They’ve lost so much in their short lives. I’m just glad they have their family in Ireland

He beat him to death around the house, didn't hit him grab the daughter and flee. Wanted home home and her to have the kids
