His son is a master mind evildoers . That son is absolutely brutally heartless so wicked omg no

Bart manipulated his family and killed them with every intention of killing his dad also. He did it again and got off death row. The psychopath never changes, no guilt, no remorse, great at reading people and knowing what they need to do their bidding. The dad was used; he felt guilt having a son who murdered,and grief, which never goes away. What an evil slime.

Joyful Noise, thank you for your comment. I'm not sure what your response means so I'll further clarify my point. My comment meant that I don't believe God relieved this man - hence the use of the LITTLE 'G.' I am a Christian and KNOW that God is not evil. The point is that men, women, and children, who don't have the income or skin color that this "blessed" murderer has, suffer horrific fates up to the death penalty with no relief. You said God will judge him. Does God not judge the poor and the black? If so, why do so many more of us die by execution than do whites? So, while I am in 100% agreement that racism goes both ways and that it is COMPLETELY WRONG even if you are a black racist, HUMAN justice does not always go "both ways." In fact, justice as we - humanity - dishes it out is the opposite of fair. Bryan Stevenson, the creator of the Lynching Museum, says that blacks are 9 times more likely to die for committing the exact same crime as whites, while if a black kills a white person they're 11 times more likely to die for it than if a white kills a black. Noting the differences in the "justice" system in America doesn't mean I'm a racist. I don't believe that police are killing black men and boys - I often thank an officer whenever I see one - nor do I believe its right to hate another race just because they seem to have the upper hand financially. What I commented on were statistical FACTS and how we behave towards the rich and empowered. Would we be having this conversation if a poor black man had been relieved after slaughtering his family? Would it even be newsworthy? What I meant was that the god they talk about here is not God; the gods that got this parricidal lunatic off are money and white skin. That's it and that's all.

Respect to Kent Whitaker to still be able to move forward from all this! To have the strength to stay composed and forgive your own son for this even though his son deserves absolutely no forgiveness whatsoever! Man literally survived a fatal gunshot wound and then had the mental strength to keep moving forward with his life! Like imagine all the mental battles he had after this incident! He probably is still going through these emotional battles even to this day but yet he still finds a way to carry on with his life! Much respect to this man for his physical and mental toughness through a process most people could never comprehend going through in there life ever! Also glad to know he found someone to spend the rest of his life with I’m sure it’s helped him cope with this sadness, loneliness, and emptiness he must’ve had after this tragic event! May God continue to bless this man!

I am sure many of the black moms and dads and poor whites also would like therir sons to live.

The fact that his dad has forgiven this sociopath who did everythin he could to avoid paying for his crimes on this earth really should not matter much at all if one says one believes in equal justice. As they said only 3 times in the last 10 years had both the Board and the governor stepped in to allow commutation.
