Not that it's a big difference and I could be wrong but I thought he shot the dad, stabbed his mom and then stabbed his sister. I think the sister was the last victim when she tried to hide and call 911. It's been almost 4 years. I may need to read it again..
my mistake, I meant to write stabbed her, she was making a 911 call as she ran from the home asking for help when Brandon chased her down and stabbed her to death,
and as for the poster who thinks he may get less than murder that imo is laughable, manslaughter does not cover this crime, he killed his father, his mother and his sister, he killed his sister to eliminate a witness to his murder of his parents, that is first degree murder,
he was planning on having more time to stage the crimes, but his sister threw his plans off by making the 911 call, he could not stage the crimes any further or leave calling 911 himself after he knew she had done so
if she had not called 911 he was probably going to attempt to stage it so it either looked like his dad did it and then committed suicide, or go with the version that his dad was killing his mother and he tried to stop it, he then had some kind of mental breakdown and killed his sister, or he was going with the SODDI defence
his sisters presence of mind amidst unimaginable horror and terror to call 911 means he will be convicted of murder, does not matter how long his lawyer delays the inevitable, and he will never walk another day of freedom in his life,
