The King Brothers (Murderes)

- Two brothers, Alex King and Derek King joined forces to kill their father a Sunday after Thanksgiving in 2001. The they brutally beat their father to death while he slept with a bat. They then set the house on fire attempting to cover up their crime. Soon enough they confessed to the crime involving 41 year old Ricky Chavis. Chavis, a former convicted child molester was accused of being sexually involved with Alex.


- I think that what these kids did was bizarre. Killing their father regardless of anything shouldn't be an excuse. Maybe they had a rough childhood, maybe Alex's "molester" was a trigger in the killing of his father. In my opinion they should have gotten more years. The reason for their short conviction was most likely influenced by their young age.
