Teen Accused of Murdering Mom a Year After Dad's Killing

A 17-year-old is behind bars after being charged with stabbing his mom to death. Cops say Collin Griffith stabbed her in the neck with a kitchen knife but he is claiming it was an accident. Last year, Griffith also shot his dad dead inside their home. He claimed his dad attacked him and he opened fire in self defense. There were no witnesses and he was released after prosecutors said there was a lack of evidence to bring him to trial. Inside Edition's Ann Mercogliano has more.

Killed his father a year ago and is able to live his life like normal? Wtf

[severusbernard]

the thought of giving birth to your murderer is terrifying

[IshikawaLuv]

No wonder he killed his mother… he got away with his dad’s murder!!! The mom should have been scared from the beginning!

[jasminedavis]

The sheriff was spot on with his description. That's no child, that's a cold-blooded psychopath.

[cyin]

It's crazy that the mother missed so many red flags about him just a year after him killing the father.

[janetsmith]

Should have been locked up for fathers' murder.

[mausi]

He got a luxury life and why the heck he killed his parents 🤦

[itsdefinitelytrue]

This kid had more than most people ever dream of and he threw it all away and he needs to never get out of jail because everyone around him will be in danger😢 and I hope he's brought to justice so his parents can rest in peace🙏

I see a mentally disturbed sociopath. But there has to be more to this story. And why on earth would his mother buy him a $27, 000 car??

Some crazy AF people out there. I couldn’t imagine hurting my parents, they brought me into this world and I’d do anything to protect them. RIP to both parents. Lock him up for life.

[Spike-cktj]

This is disturbing. He got away with it once so felt like he could do anything including killing his mum too. Poor family.

[watsonspuzzle]

I think Collin's main difficulty is that he's a homicidal maniac.

[serenity]

A $26, 000 car just for graduating high school?

[eightchickens]

Fell ... on a ... knife? So she was holding a knife, and fell, and... the knife was upright? ... and then it stabbed her in the neck... what the heck?

Death Penalty. The Sheriff says, he had no remorse. That's evil incarnate for you.

[sarahaltameemi]

Why would you kill your mom if she loves you that much?! Killing both of your parents is crazy

Edit: I hate how terrible society is trying to justify murder of both parents over video games.

[carvelrider]

I’m sorry mom but if my child killed his father he would not come and live or vacation with me

[melm]

Proof that not every murderer comes from a broken home/unhappy childhood.

[sharihazlett]

So he killed both parents. He is totally evil

[bbygrlpt]

Some parents can be so blind! She knew he was insane and she chose to keep him home like nothin happened and he didnt kill his dad.. SMH
