There can be no doubt that he killed the parents, but what I have wondered from the beginning is whether or not there is reasonable doubt about pre-meditation. I know that toting a gun over to the house is evidence of pre-meditation–but what if there is something else that injects reasonable doubt?

My understanding is that the death penalty is on the table. If Ludwig had a lawyer who let him say these things, I hope that any of you who may live in the area will avoid his lawyer like the plague if you or your loved ones are accused of a crime.
