They are sociopaths who could have left and gotten jobs at Trader Joe’s or joined the military. But that wasn’t their plan. They couldn’t report the father as the meal ticket would evaporate. Instead they conspired to kill them and speed up the inheritance.
they travelled to San Diego and bought the guns. They blasted the mother five times in the face with a 12 gauge, reloaded and put five more into her. I would term it a heinous horrific premeditated murder which deserved the life no parole sentence regardless of the any sex abuse allegations.
after the murders both went on a huge luxury spending spree buying Porsches, watches, a restaurant, big $ tennis lessons, a rock concert promotion, and traveling to Europe. It’s estimated they spent $700k in the six months before their arrest.
their defense cost $10mil and taxes, California laws, real estate collapse etc ate up all their inheritance.
so they’ll likely be on dancing with the stars or love after lockup. The wives probably never believed they’d actually get out, a common. Mindset of prison brides. I think the idea that because they were under 26 they should get life sentences to be a ridiculous position.
