It said the uncle and father left to get the Atty. I am thinking the uncle suggested it. Was the uncle in the home when they found the body? Did the father call him first?
I think it was a very smart move to call the Atty before LE became involved. I realize it isn't a popular stance here, but anytime you are dealing with LE guilty or not...you should have an atty present. We might not like them all the time, but they will certainly save your hide from LE twisting statements etc. in any case. You do have to protect yourself from LE and ending up as an innocent on the wrong side of the bars. Perhaps the uncle was protecting the parents from becoming part of this horrific crime, if they had nothing to do with it or no prior knowledge.
I have always taught my kids never to speak with LE for any reason without an atty present no matter what the case is. Innocent or not, it is leaving yourself vulnerable to professionals who are trained in manipulation, mental torture to some extent, and to obtaining a "confession" at all costs. (I still disagree with LE being able to outright lie and "create evidence" to obtain confessions and would like to see this legally challenged then changed.)
Do I feel the son is guilty? Absolutely, I do. I want him to fry just like everyone else for such a cruel and dispicable crime. An atty won't save him from being found guilty and his punishment if the evidence is present.
