  1. He deserves it you can tell he only feels sorry himself.
    His poor mom didn't deserve the way she went out and the story he came up with 2 guys with guns but she was found with a knife in her face and head bashed in.A spoiled man child and I use the word man in a sarcastic way.

  2. … and all this after she took out a loan against her house for $40,000 to put up his bail. She should have left him rot in jail until his trial.

  3. So many bad decisions in such a short amount of time. How sad for his wife and children. It started with stealing money from the elderly, lead to killing his mother, and ended with trying to evade law enforcement. I guess if you’re going down might as well go down in flames

  4. 🙌🏻 He got what he deserves, but if he had changed his story to “I ran to avoid jail time. I didn’t even know she was murdered” …he would have been found not guilty because that prosecutor was embarrassingly bad! Might I suggest she go watch DA Michael Allen in the Stauch trial for pointers how to be a prosecutor 😅

  5. A very much just verdict! His testimony was insulting he was a combination of Alex Murdaugh and Leticia Stouch with the lies! Especially describing their own participation and killing of the victim and describing their last moment! I was kind of surprised they did not do victim impact statements whatsoever but so grateful he will never get out

  6. What a cruel, evil man. Poor mom. She was cooking his favorite meal to comfort him and he MURDERED her before she could finish. What on earth is going on in this world?.😢

  7. well…at least he didn't say in his statement: I didn't do it! or I am innocent. His statement is an admission of sorts. Does that bring back the loss of life or erase the tragedy. NO!

  8. This guy is nuts! He thought anyone with common sense would believe his lies? 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ RIP to Mrs. Merritt. She didn’t deserve to die like that!
