    His parents bought him a Mustang at 16. While he had the car, he was speeding everywhere, failing in school, smoking weed, sneaking out, unauthorized use of his parents' 💳, lying and his mother was onto all of it eventually. This is a guy who took 31 mins to call the police after "hearing" gunshots that he was so sure came from his parents' room even though his sister also lived on that same floor. How did the killer know where his father's gun was? And the notepad the note was written on was from a notepad that belonged to the Armstrongs.
    The police took 6 mins to arrive at the house soon after AJ called 911 when he claimed he heard gunshots inside the house. How did the killer have all that time to kill 2 ppl, write a note in the dark, leave the murder weapon behind and escape without tripping off the alarm. Mind you, AJ had to disengage the alarm for the police to enter the house which meant that the alarm was on the entire time.
    He passes his parents' room to get to his sister's room when his parents were the ones in greater need of medical attn given where he said he heard the shots came from. He didn't even open the door...nothing...to determine if there was even a remote chance that any of their lives could've been saved.
    The most audible part of the 911 call just so happens to be when he is trying to wake his sister up--excessively trying to sound like the Herculean big brother--while the rest of the call was mostly uttered in whispered tones.

    Another entitled narcissistic brat. Such a sad case. His poor sister! She lost her whole family due to her brothers inability to regulate. 😢
    A.J.’s claim that he was not given the medical/mental health he needed is suspect to me as his past actions tell a different story as far as his mind set; I doubt A.J. would’ve been willing to ask for, admit that he needed, or accept the mental health help he and his defense claimed he asked for. He instead decided that he was too cool for school or rules or consequences and murdered his parents in cold blood.
    May his parents Rest In Peace. And may his sister find peace here in this world. 🙏🏼
    Thanks for the excellent analysis Dr. G.! I do look forward to a daily dose of Dr. G.’s incredible expertise. It’s both enlightening and entertaining. Makes this older lady’s day a bit more enjoyable despite the awful nature of some of the cases. Take good care, all! 🫶🏼🙂

Of course the prior incidents prove that he'd made other attempts on his parents life.

NEVER talk to police, get a lawyer ASAP, only communications should be through your lawyer. Even if you are guilty you should still do everything in your power to preserve your negotiating ability, that includes NOT talking to the police

"Oh, you killed your parents? Well, they were so strict with you. It's understandable." Also, why are people convicted of murder allowed to be out of jail on bond? What kind of thinking is that? "We think this guy killed his parents, but, hey, if you've got money, he can be free for a while. It's not like he's going to kill again, probably."

      He passes his parents' room to get to his sister's room when his parents were the ones in greater need of medical attn given where he said he heard the shots came from. He didn't even open the door...nothing...to determine if there was even a remote chance that any of their lives could've been saved.
      The most audible part of the 911 call so happens to be when he is trying to wake his sister up--excessively trying to sound like the Herculean big brother--while the rest of the call was mostly uttered in whispered tones. I hope he knows that in the year 2063 he'll be simply eligible for parole but not guaranteed it.

      The free on bond thing is part of the “due process” clause in the Constitution. You are not actually supposed to be considered Guilty until proven so in court. You are treating them, in your view, as if it was already proven. Imagine I called the police on you right now and told them you killed someone. Then, they came and arrested you. Wouldnt you want to be considered innocent unless you were proven guilty. What would you think of people(like you) if they were confused about why you were offered bail or why you were not considered guilty from the start without a trial? See, it works both ways. There are other people besides you with feelings and rights. Understand now?

    I never believed Armstrong’s innocence. He had a major ego and clearly didn’t care about his consequences. What irritates me most is the lack of support (or lack of outrage) that the family has not shown for the oldest brother. When his mother and stepfather were killed, he spiraled into such a traumatic depression and had to be committed to a mental facility. Yet, in every interview, when they could’ve shown a small drop of fevered defense for him, silence…. Not a word about how being appalled that the courts want to go after him as the killer.

      There wasn't anything presented here to imply he was spoiled. Going to a private school, when a parent can afford it, is more about a parent appreciating a safe and academically enriching setting. Even Catholic and Christian schools are​ private. He may have earned the privilege of the car by working around the house, getting good grades, or whatever. That his parents imposed serious consequences for his drug use suggests that they had reasonable expectations and imposed discipline for failing to meet standards. That's not spoiling a kid. @Juke582

    The statement AJ made about the high pitched noise was the saddest moment for me because it was the moment it became painfully apparent that this young man had just murdered his parents for expecting him to be a productive member of society. Which is why the defense never even touched the subject. The way his attorney keeps putting emphasis on his long time relationship and love for Antonio Sr. pisses me off because if he were really your friend you wouldn't be defending the very person you know killed him just to make a buck and a name for yourself in a high profile case. He knows this boy killed his parents! He was just after money because he knew Antonio Sr. had a substantial net worth.
