Family of Idaho murders suspect 'promote his presumption of innocence'

Parents of the suspect in the University of Idaho murders case have released a statement for the first time since their son’s arrest.

I acknowledge his innocence until proven guilty, but "if" he did it, he has severely broken 5 families, including his own.

[Uncle.Skee]

Um..well..in America you’re supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Hopefully they have the right suspect but let due process play out

[NewswithJakenator]

Our judicial system guarantees the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. I hope they got the right guy in this case yet he still has to be tried and convicted.

[weisserth]

I hope the police have air-tight, un-corrupted evidence against him.

No one wants to believe someone in their family, that they love, would be able to do such terrible acts. It's a normal reaction.

[shavoz]

He's just a suspect right now, they must have some good evidence to charge him.

When the neighbor said, “I was dumbfounded.”

I really felt that.

Even John Wayne Gacy’s sister kept saying he’s innocent and it’s not true because he’s such a good person… until the facts and evidence and proof was shown to her. Also Jeffrey Dahmers dad was saying the same thing and couldn’t believe his son was a serial killer. Just sayin…

Does anyone else find it fishy that 4 ppl were stabbed to death? What ? No one heard the first 2 or 3 stabbings or struggles or killer lurking in the apartment? 😂

Press; leave the family alone. If the cops suspect they are involved then it'll be disclosed but for now resist your ratings temptation and wait for the criminal complaint and affidavit to be released in Idaho by authorities. Perhaps then afterwards his own family will have second thoughts.

It’s hilarious to even think about the police erroneously arrested a PhD out of nowhere as the murderer who killed four and turns out he’s innocent

He’s 99.99% guilty

[HRpckzz]

Good now make him try on the glove that they found outside the house

[JBly-qjtu]

Dudes got degrees in criminal justice and say he is eager to be exonerated, this could be very interesting.

[AzimuthTao]

Let's hope they have more than just him owning a white car.

[GmoneyG]

I thought it was innocent until proven guilty in this country I guess people are so quick to throw the key away on people that’s why we have so many innocent men and woman behind bars . I stand behind the justice system and don’t see anything until facts are stated.

[GGAllienn]

Did the parents see their sons reddit post? Says it all.

[sleepisthecousinofdeath]

I’ve never seen the media jump on blaming someone for a major crime this fast with no evidence.

[thelolsdad]

If cops get this guy wrong be prepared for a hell of a civil slander lawsuit.

[Yammaae]

They were under a LOT of pressure, anything could happen

[andrebarbosa]

Lmao, the neighbor says he makes strange noises folks.... Guilty of murder.
