I don’t know how he can deny what he did…there’s a point in The First 48 where he ADMITS to his mother what he did. She asked why he killed the kids (her grandkids) and he says because they saw what he did to the adults that he killed. He doesn’t deserve second chances.

@@whitloyd7481 The children, yes, that was foul, but they were witnesses, so Jessie had to kill 'em. You can't leave witnesses able to testify against you, even if they're innocent children and relatives. Jessie really had no choice. He got into an argument with Cecil - I'm thinkin' it was over a cut of the drug profits. Recall that both brothers were gang bangin', and Cecil was slingin' dope in the community. An argument ensued, and we know its deadly conclusion.

That's exactly where I first saw this year's ago and couldn't believe it. I remember the sister got a call from him telling her he was coming over and the police removed her for fear he was coming to kill her. She said he was mad because he felt like he didn't have support while in prison I think for 6 years. She said he came out angry and jealous of the brother and wanted what the brother had. So he went to go rob him and his girl, then decided to kill everyone in the house including the babies. I think he did about 6 years and had just been released not even a year prior to killing the family.

So no let him stay where he at so he can sit in his mess he created by taking innocent lives like God left him in charge. And definitely prayers up for the families members that was left to deal with the lost of their love ones by the hands of a demonic evil spirit.

How about he and Mr Jessie take a lie detector test. Mr I hid under the bed and listened to my entire family get murdered, but I didn't get a scratch on me because that was the only room and bed they didn't look under, n no I didn't call the police or an ambulance because I didn't love them that much!
