    What a man to adopt these kids. He truly has a huge heart. I was graduating at the time of this case. Her scale of evilness still astounds me

      People are not born evtl. All those diagnosis like psychopathy are just made for avoiding responsibility as a soceity. I believe Diane is very lost and empty by what was happend to her. That doesn't mean I don't share the opinion that she has to be locked up in jail till her life ends. I hope you don't get me wrong.
      And I am glad the kids grew up with a new family far away from the birthmother

      😂 😂 😂 😂
      And how would anyone know Diane was going to be going down that particular road to be waiting w a gun on a deserted road?
      Also, she said she got a call right before she left and then never mentions again who or why they called...

      She and her husband were both freaks. They went to a carnival the day after the shooting because they'd promised to help supervise. Mama Downs allegedly laughed at the time and told Fred Hugi that "you know how social obligations are, you just can't break them." All they cared about was their public image, which they deserved to have shot to hell the way it eventually was.

    Sounds like Diane is a chip off the old block! Her mother has zero emotion when speaking about her severely wounded grandchildren. I am a grandmother and I know I would be in tears and devastated if anything happened to even ONE of my grandbabies....much less one being murdered and one paralyzed with a second injured child clinging to life after having a stroke!! What a cold fish! Just like dear, old daughter. Evil and calculating!!!

      They probably didn't want the responsibility and the DA realized they were a couple of sick freaks after he met them, no matter how nice and tidy they looked on the surface. Her mother was straight out of Stepford and her father was a small, mean son of a bitch, by all accounts.

      The prosecutor and his wife cared about them more than their biological family did. If matching DNA was a guarantee for a good home, the kids wouldn't have been in such a spot to begin with. They deserved the absolute best after what they'd been through, not emotionally retarded idiots who would have forced them to visit and make nice with the woman who tried to kill them.
