Obviously, IANAL, but I can't wrap my head around the court's decision to bar any mention (to the jury) of the defendant's murder of his father. I wonder if jurors will feel hoodwinked by not having been apprised of this, given that it happened relatively shortly before the defendant murdered his mother, and given that it might have been seen as the start of a pattern of conduct (patricide/matricide) that the murder of the mother continued.
