This case certainly went to court quickly.

I feel so sad for him😢

Murderers are so selfish!!! They destroy so many lives in so many ways. I have so much empathy for victims of crime. peace

I think he is doing very good actually

@@juliashelley2939 yeah he seems pretty indifferent. Like ok whatever

@@juliashelley2939 no he’s not. He is so distraught & extremely angry

@@chrismaloney2108 you don’t read people very well at all. This guy is distraught & angry & working very hard to keep it together

Yeah its just absolutely terrible.😔

He lost his family for a reason.

i completely agree. it pained me to watch and listen to his brother try so hard to testify…… against his own brother that mutilated his parents. tragic on so many levels

but what could the reason possibly be there is a lot of confusing stuff about this case ?

@@andrewgraves9636 I think we know that is just a way of saying that the parents were killed for 'no good' reason.

@@minarosered6699 i’m saying the only reason I am tuning in is to find out that reason. The crime itself is horrific, ghastly, and left field. I am most interested to know the exact why and how, aren’t you?

Right? direct, specific answers.

😥 😔

@@bribriTDWP Why are you so "sure" when it appeared that the brothers had a good relationship. When children kill their parents, the parents really messed up their child with a lot of mental (and/or physical) trauma. It's takes deep rooted pain for a child to kill their parents.

@@gordthor5351 Not true for every case. There's always an exception to the rule.

@@gordthor5351 I've seen cases where a child kills a grandparent who was nothing but kind to them. Pretty sure there have been numerous cases of girls who killed their parents or mother because they weren't allowed to continue their relationship with an older boy. Parents did nothing but try to help the girls, no abuse to be found. If you pay attention there are plenty of these types of cases.

Same thought I had especially after he had given him a "bullet" as a get well " gift. ...I think there was a message in that gift. 🤔

@@gordthor5351 The email and text messages didn't show signs of abuse. The defense attorney didn't cite any.

He seems weird to me. I don’t trust him.

Thank God he wasn't a basement kid like the brother! He would had been killed too! Or he would have been in on it !

@@meachbeatsproductionsmbp2460 a basement kid?

@@anitabigcoffee basement kid, grown adult still leaving on parents. Didn't work or go to school and lied about it. They wanted him to work and be independent so he killed them!

The psychopaths brother doesn’t seem exactly normal.

@@angelwings7930 he seems fine, nerdy and introverted but fine.

@@angelwings7930 how would you act in the middle of this living hell?

@@angelwings7930 The brother ‘doesn’t seem exactly normal’ because he probably isn’t feeling exactly normal right now. I mean, just how normal do you actually think a person should be when their mum and dad has been killed, cut up, burned and buried by their brother? Not to mention, this man is sitting in a courtroom answering personal questions in front of goodness knows how many complete strangers, oh and it’s being televised and going out to the entire world? Sorry but in my opinion, comment is coming across as judgemental and bitchy.

@@angelwings7930 I get what you’re saying despite ppl feeling offended here. It’s probably just the way it was stated. Yes idk how someone should act in this situation. They also have him answering at an awkward angle which is dumb… I also am hearing many red flags… things like his mom was a helicopter parent but it’s because she cared… If anyone understands this dynamic and the defending of a parents actions, even when they aren’t healthy actions… they will see some holes develop as far as the psychological building blocks. I am NOT saying the moms raising of her kids lead to a psychopathic murderer. I AM saying that some of the actions of the mom sound reminiscent of possible personality disorders. If there was a family history of psychological disorders/personality disorders It will affect kids. I see a few tale tale signs in this brother. I wish more ppl could learn from these things rather (without blaming or being defensive) in order to bring attention to mental health BEFORE things like this end up happening.

About like Joel Guy from Tennessee

So right on! I'm into true crime, and this one is about as brutal as it gets.

@@lc-bb6bd yes, I thought that too. Mom’s Head in a stew pot Joel Guy!

@@SheezaPI I know. I feel so bad for those parents. She worked all her life and was retiring only to get murdered by her own child and have her head end up on the stove. And to think I get upset when my adult kids get disrespectful.

I’m so very sorry for your losses!!!

Very sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry. So sorry 😞 😔. I'm going to pray for you 🙏 😌 ❤️ ❤️

Yes, It must have been quite the low time of your Life...sounds like you have developed empathy for others...not a bad thing at all.

🫂

I couldn’t either!

Is that what it is? Grimacing? Poor dude

He’s not young. He’s like 50

@@c.l.888 He is actually 25 or 26

And having to explain this for the rest of his life. Just awful.

@@bugsbunny7205 I’m sure he’d much rather have his family.

@@bugsbunny7205 Yeah, you’re right. I guess because I would never do something so evil, I would rather have my family over money. Both would be nice tho. But you’re right.

@@bugsbunny7205 You are as bad as the monster! I rather beg for money in the street and have my parents alive. I don't know how people like you and him exist!

@@bugsbunny7205 Makes sense.

Can't help but think that the push that's been going on for a few years (decades) to take away parents rights has something to do with that. Often this push comes with smearing the parents to their children and alienating them.

With technology and computers and gaming, alot of children are becoming antisocial and alot have awkward socializing skills. Parents are literally raising Adult children. Some of those children have no respect for their parents. They have been and given everything too them, without working hard or knowing what it is like to work for something. When parents stop giving in and change the rules. The kids get mad and believe they are owed. I also heard children are killing their parents for insurance money, cause it might bring them wealth faster.

Whoa! I don’t think I have heard of the one in Canada (and I am in Canada). I completely agree with your comments on murdering your parents. I couldn’t even imagine hurting my parents let alone killing them. It was just over some stupid lies. I don’t understand how people can do these horrific things.

We all know how it works but i'm sure everyone knows he is guilty. Most of these questions are annoying and personal. The justice system doesn't work and is for people to advance their careers and make money off of people's suffering.

irrelevant

If the questions were not relevant there would be an objection.

I think the shock will take a long time to get over

Because he has a warped mind. Nothing says "love" like a bullet. WTF? The parents are victims of the victim they created. Babies aren't born bad. We all are a product of our environment.

I was thinking he either gave him a bullet because they played video games together or....he was jealous of the attention he was getting over being hospitalized and planned to do something egregious to him later and the bullet was a sick and twisted joke to him.

@@gordthor5351 did you even watch the video or you just going to keep spreading your nonsense in the comments. Why would the older brother be normal by your logic.

@@gordthor5351 true but we know more about how the brain functions and murderers aren't wired the same. They are either born like that or it can develop due to trauma, drugs etc. Not all murderers had a bad childhood, parents aren't to blame for everytime.

Because he's insane!

I would have given it back and said F Off. I don't get that.

Exactly! This right here says a lot to me. It’s very rare for 2 brothers this close in age to not have a close brotherly bond as young adults. Something is seriously wrong with the younger brother.

@@TaraVon Yes, exactly. The other thing that makes this case totally baffling is trying to understand --how two incredibally loving parents -as they were described --could have raised a son to become such a monster. What want wrong?

@@luketimber4679 Seems they went easier on the younger kid. They weren't doing him any favors.

@@onawal931 Yes the baby in the family is nearly always coddled. I know because I am one.

One was a good son and one was a bad seed.

What? A husband killed his parents? Bc he wasn't going to school...or to his wife? Huh?

Who's head injury, Chandler's fake one? He had a mild concussion and greatly exaggerated it and made most of it up.

I stand corrected. I hadn’t realized he was lying about his injury.

The examining doctor said there was no evidence of injury despite CT scan, MRI and examination of the spinal column, so they treated it as mild concussion to be on the safe side (so they didn't get sued if he had a relapse). Didn't even find a bruise, but took his word for it and gave him a sheet of instructions in case more symptoms developed. Which he used to fake more symptoms.

Deranged sociopaths unconcerned with being seen as "normal"

Maybe. But his brother stole his future children their lovely grandparents. That will never be mended. It's heartbreaking.

That's very true, the trial is 6 months after the events. But he did avoid looking in Chandler's direction, even when asked to identify him.

"Open the door"... I hope you know Joel Jr was not the first, Many disturbing people came before him..

It does! Omg!

This channel has the opening statement live. Senseless act… trying to cover up his lies I suppose. Really tragic story.

He just didn't want to admit that he was an idle, lying, abject failure, which his father had just discovered.

This and Joel guy junior case , they're spoilt with no clue how hard their parents worked to get where they were in life. What a waste, 4 really decent parents gone and 2 lads that just lost all their privacy dignity wealth and freedom

Chandler also has a brother whose immediate family was wiped out for no reason, although Mitchell is engaged and living with fiancé, and Uncle Brett, his father's brother, (former police detective elsewhere) I think will stand by him.

I'm the same boys 16 months apart so close . I just don't understand why, how, and no one sensed anything.

No, that was also all lies. No injuries, no concussion, not even a bruise.

My exact thought, that was very telling, in my opinion

It wasn’t his birthday, it was bc he was in the hospital.

*should have been protected

The brother was okay with it. The prosecution reviews major points with their witnesses! If he didn’t want to reveal the diagnosis, he wouldn’t have.

@@birdgirl1516 true but how is it relevant though? Funny questions being asked, like video games etc.

@@honeybunch5765 It’s to put the witness at ease before getting into the nitty gritty.

In the grand scheme of this family's tragic murder and dismemberment, revealing that you have diabetes in a court of law is pretty far down on the list of concerns for anyone.

Maybe, but I doubt this guy wants to talk about it on camera again anytime soon. Or at all.

If that was his idea, it was a total failure. Without proof of death, it's complicated to inherit someone's estate, property or money. So he disposed of their bodies, presumably so that they'd never be found? Failure

They grew up in the same house. Mitchell moved out when he was 18. Got a job, and became a productive member in society. Unlike his grifter brother.

I was wondering the same thing. Mitchell said, that they didn't grow up in the same house. I'm really curious about that

@@msfiregreen2828 well Chandler will have lots of time to write his 'memoirs' and explain it all to us.

Look at Cain and Able

@@rhondaphillips7664 you know Cain and Abel are fictitious characters right?

It happens like that.

Psychopaths are born…

@@robertwalker9679 exactly

Not at all. It shows where he got the idea to fake a fall.

It also established the context for the defendant giving the big brother the bullet with the note on it.

Also gave insight into the relationship with his mother. Important if the defense try’s to victim blame later on.

It was so they could lead to his brother giving him a bullet.

Yeah, lots of people don't believe banks exist. 😂
