It was almost like the writer didn't want to admit that the son killed his father.

My condolences to her and the rest of the Costello family.

I'm guessing there's a fairly dark back-story that's going to emerge, but this isn't the day to discuss that.

I hope speculation about this will rise above the usual hatefest for republicans.

It seems OK is having an upswing in family violence. For the Okies in this thread, I am sure you heard about the 2 brothers that killed their parents recently and you might even have heard about the family altercation in Tulsa last Thursday that sent a 13 year old to the hospital with a bullet wound.
Loosing a loved one to violence is hard to comprehend no matter what the circumstances, but it must be especially difficult if the suspect is a member of your own family.
