From what I have seen, it is only a circumstantial case. There is no evidence connecting him to the murder. I don’t think they even found the weapons.

For those who have followed it more closely, do you think the prosecution has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it?
No, I have watched all and do not think the prosecution has proved anything beyond "doubt". Is he a horrendously lost addict, yes ! Desperate, yes ! Paranoid as the addiction progressed, yes ! I would go "out on a limb" and and offer that there is a high likelihood that he had a sociopathic personality even BEFORE the addiction and the personality changes what result from it. WAY out on that limb now, I might surmise he has always been able to get through life by "glad handing", some might call it B.S., and, on family history (previous generations appear to have been stable, honest, people without scandal). He may have (?) had serious doubts about his own self esteem... despite all the trappings of success and wealth ? Sure, that's deep stuff, but he seems a textbook example of "maladjustment" ! I think he may well be found "NOT" guilty, but think he will surely pay with prison time for the financial crimes he has admitted. Frankly, I do not believe that some "outraged" person, angry at the son responsible for boat "accident" that ended in death, would target the mother. The father's faked suicide ? Just a LOT of mental health issues in that family for sure !
