God is the only one who knows the truth, I pray for both parties family, this can’t be an easy thing to process. They all have people who love them.
Pretty sure there are more than just God who know the truth here.
Some people just prove how much the death penalty is needed.
I don’t think video games had anything to do with it. I would be more apt to believe that never being told no by his parents is the problem.
Way, way too many video game binges in this boy’s history.
I wonder if C.W. or Mavis were witnesses, at the Old Home Filler Up And Keep On Truckin Cafe?
