Sooooo… he still doesn’t know why he killed his parents? And according to court documents he had told his mom that all he thinks about is murder? Uhh… maybe we should sort this out before setting him free? What if that mysterious condition happens again?
Exactly! He is sooooo manipulative as well. Only talks about himself and that he has forgiven HIMSELF..!! Etc etc..... Not a word about his parents. This one is still very dangerous!!
I agree..they need to figure out why he killed his parents before they let him out of there. He might be a homicidal maniac. He sounds a little too smooth like he is conning us.
He’s an honest psychopath. “My sister Tammy means well”! After he robbed her of her parents he condescends to her as if she lost her cat! Talk about glib, and lacking true empathy.
He's going to get set free im sure. Because of the way he look. An alot more people like him gets set free everyday believe me. Thats why the world is how it is now.
I have a friend who was convicted of a murder he did not commit when he was 20, and is serving 84 years. An innocent man has spent 28 years in prison and this guy is getting out after serving 30/60. In my friends case, The murderer came forward and my friend still remains incarcerated. He was given a new trial and the judge overturned his conviction; however, the commonwealth attorney appealed the case and the SC came up with a "new theory" that he may not have been the murderer, but that a jury would believe he set her up to be abducted.
@@stacye3184 I’ve been in prison. I know this guys type. Wants a medal for doing basic life skills n thinks his little dumb prison accomplishments mean shit to anyone. Dudes a 40 year old kid, who will definitely kill once freed. He just needs easier victims then prisoners.
He went into an adult in prison at 15 years old if all of you had ever been in that environment jail or prison host of the people in there are not functioning at mentality of a grown adult that is why they ended up there he was raised play grown children
As a newbie to your channel, I went down the rabbit hole. I saw Greg's clips in the Young Kids and Hard Time playlist, but didn't see the full interview before I saw the Ousley interview. I like that his entire story with Calamari is in one video.
@Dexy83 - So glad you found us and were able to watch Greg's story in full. We've recently been doing longer videos like these with some of the other stories we've filmed, where we have everything in one video. We hope you've seen them and stay tuned for more ahead! Have a great week ahead and thanks again for watching!
I know some people who have been thrown down stairs, punched into walls, beaten unjustly for something someone else did. But they never entertained the idea of killing their parents or even striking them. Hurt feelings don’t justify unjustly taking a life. Then two short years his conversation turned to how wonderful he is because of the unjust amount of time he has had to spend locked up, unjust because of how young he was and how they should have treated him for any mental issues associated with blowing his parents away.
@lava139 - Thank you so much! We're happy you're here with us on our channel and greatly appreciate your nice words about our work. Have a great weekend!
Great video and content as always. Just a recommendation for next video… please lower the background music especially when someone is talking or get rid of it all together because I’m sure I’m not the only adhd’er that cannot concentrate on what Greg was saying during most of his interviews because of the interrupting music. 😊 ❤
What I do not hear is a young man who killed his parents showing remorse. He does not, necessarily, dodge questions but he seems to avoid discussing and perhaps accepting what HE DID to his parents. There are reasons he did not get a sentence modification. There are reasons he served 30 years in prison. He seems to blame the legal system itself for his predicament. Since the details are the murders are not in the video, here is a synopsis. "At around 11:30PM on the 23rd of February, Greg slowly crept into his parents’ bedroom armed with a 12-gauge shotgun. He shot his father once in the face and arm before turning the gun to his mother. The shot had awoken Bonnie and before Greg had the chance to shoot, she had run into the dining room in a bid to call for help. Tragically, however, Greg followed Bonnie and fired two shots at her, killing her in the dining room." According to Greg, he and his parents argued quite frequently. He said that they argued about chores, about the length of his hair and whether he could go to his friend’s house. In fact, Greg had often spoke to his friends about wanting to kill his parents but seemingly, nobody ever thought that he was being serious. “I had been thinking about killing them every time I get mad. They don’t seem to understand me,” he said to a police officer. The prosecution had argued that Greg should be tried as an adult because the crime was premeditated. “There is no evidence of provocation of self-defense or anything,” said Kosciusko County Prosecutor, Randy Girod.
@@eugeniasyro5774 Understand that he is being released because he has served his entire sentence minus education credits. I think it took two or three years off of his sentence. 30 years is a long time to be in prison. He was sentenced to 60 years but in Indiana you get one day credit for one day served which cut it to 30. I just don't think he is as sorry as he let's on and I don't trust his weak "remorse".
Consider the age of this individual. Do you really believe he understands the magnitude of his crime? He does realize what he did was wrong and he should be punished. A 14 year-old does not know about remorse nor understand the idea of remorse. These youngsters are not adults.
Thank you, I feel like I wasted a good part of my life listening to this kid "not admit why he killed his parents" other than he didn't like being told what to do at 14 years old. Oh and the best part "the tight knit small town should have seen it coming and done something" lol He did tell all his friends he wanted to kill his parents so there's that.
Because I paid attention to who Greg is now... what makes him tick... what he has held to for all these years in prison... I would completely trust him. Absolutely! He is NOT that 14 yr old kid... and he didn't let the hardened, long-time criminals in prison shape the man he wanted to grow into.
@@Lisa-ec9qb I’m curious, what are you hearing in regards to self - understanding ( or as you would say “ what makes him tick”) He’s has had a lot of time to understand what happened and how he ended up here in life . I am not hearing a narrative nor insight as to who he was as a kid , why he murdered his parents in contrast as to who he is today ? I kept waiting for his insight as to why he did what he did. So far,, Im not hearing any self understanding…
This is a tough one - he was 15. Making good choices in a „safe and structured“ environment is different from being in the chaos of everyday life. I don’t really know how to feel.
@queenbuzybee4074 - You're right about re-entry never being easy. We see that a lot. Thankfully, Greg has done well since his release. Support is always key. Appreciate you watching his story!
@@toriwolf5978 . . . what is the payment for taking another's life? What is the standard for defining "payment"? Should we use the standards set by the New Testament or the Old Testament? Where does rehabilitation fit in? Should payment be tempered with the compassion? I think that the biggest issue with this man is the fact that he was socialized in the prison setting; his life became what was behind the walls of the prison culture. His day started with the opening up of his cell door and ended with the closing of the cell door. In between the opening and closing, his decisions were really decided by someone else. His schedule was predetermined, and there wasn't a whole lot of choosing on his part. This man has never held a real job; he's never had to pay a bill. Upon release, he faces some real challenges, and to function well, he is required to meet those challenges thoughtfully and unemotionally. Can decades in prison prepare this man for "freedom's journey?"
You can tell he has a very high opinion of himself no matter what he claims. Boring hearing someone talk about themselves as much as he talks about himself
Me too! He has a friend in me ❤. I did a term in California women Institution for Women, aka CIW 85% of the women have been molested, rape, and violated period. Lifers they act like normal people other than most chasing the drugs. Drugs are easy back in the 80s. Big money, which I doubt is still going on. Time has changed. But never did I see a child there 🤔 I feel for these kids.
If I had murdered my parents no matter what type of parents they were, I would have just sat at a corner and cry forever. My life would have been over. This guy seems to be a sociopath. He's sitting there all relaxed, talking articulately and feeling sorry for himself. If he gets out and feel someone else has wronged him he may do the same
@CRS-fe2zj Yeah he's complaining of his sentence being too harsh and he didn't get a chance but his parents won't become alive again and have a chance to improve themselves either
I can understand someone that had a decent / good childhood would be thinking like you. I, on the other hand, had a real bad childhood and can see how a child could get to the point of killing a parent or both. I was so very close to doing what this guy had done when I was between the age of 14-15 yrs of age, I was at the very last moment when I stopped myself. My mother and her boyfriend were both sleeping and neither of them knew what I was about to do. There was only two things that stopped me at the very last moment, the first was that I figured that I may not be forgiven by God and then I thought about how this would affect my younger siblings. I went through the abuse for another 2-3 yrs before I was finally able to get out. Many yrs later, I finally opened up to my older sister as to what I had almost done.
@sandilacy9498 oh trust me my childhood was FAR from good. I can guarantee my dad was at least 20 times worse than his. My dad was schizophrenic and thought the whole time some other men are in our house and that was why he'd beat my mom and my older sisters all the time. There were times I came home to him dragging my mom around the house with her hair, chasing her around with a knife or brick and you name it. Other children hated school but the whole time I was at school I'd look at the clock and being scared and anxious of going back to that home again. My dad would talk about how much he could sell us for and I was just like 9 years old. He once even brought an old guy to our home and had already sold my older sister for 300 bucks to him but my mom and everyone else kicked the guy out. I'm sorry you've had a rough childhood too but murder is never the answer. He could have just escaped as my brother did and he has built his life ever since and has his own family. As he himself said something is mentally wrong with him. People who have homicidal thoughts usually it can't be treated. They always have to be under some type of supervision in my opinion for other people's safety
My thoughts exactly, if he comes out of prison seeing himself as a victim, he will reoffend, I had a uncle in and out for robbery and drug abuse, he blamed nobody but himself, he never hurt anyone , he stole but never burglarized anyone in person, he took full responsibility when he was shot in the head , he survived, he knew the shooter, he eventually got straight and off parole, he was clean for over 5 years, messed up once and overdosed and died in his early 40’s , I still love and miss him , nobody tried to help him but me , he almost made it.
@anette - you’re 100% correct. And it’s an old tired trope convicts have been using for ages. Perfect for a bleeding heart writer looking for book fodder. Note how his journalist buddy manages to utter a “fuck you” to a sister sibling against him getting out! She (Mary) owes nobody anything - especially to her brother that murdered HER parents!!! She is perfectly entitled to voice her opinion on Greg’s incarceration.
At 52:18 his statement regarding a small town… everyone in everyone else’s business until there’s a problem then “it’s none of my business” 🤯 So true. Small town not required.
Making good choices so you can get out sooner is not the same as making good choices because it's the right thing to do. I'm going to always be skeptical of this guy. But if he doesn't know why he did what he did I'm going to be EXTREMELY skeptical.
@tanyafrida7380 - since his release we have heard he's finally resolved some of these questions and works very hard every day to be a productive member of society. We hope to do an update soon!
I have sat and listened to this man for me if you really sit and listen with you heart I feel he needs to become a counselor for the youth offender's he really has me thinking it's a calling he's ment for
So you mean they will let you out without any professional help or any kind of guidance after murdering your parents? So the conversations with his sisters will be about what exactly? Why did you kill our parents? Bad idea i believe!😢
Debbie Martin , I totally agree with you. If he murdered the two people that love you over grades, hair length and rules.. no- one else he gets close to has a chance …
I don't hear him minimizing what he did. His point is.....The system is BROKEN!!!! NO 15 YEAR OLD CHILD SHOULD BE PUT IN PRISON WITH ADULT HARD CORE CRIMINALS PERIOD
@@peregrine7303 I AGREE 💯 PERCENT!! When you commit a grown up crime then you'll get a GROWN UP sentence!! DON'T GET ME WRONG, I have a small amount of compassion for SOME teenage murderers; self defense is about the ONLY charges I have compassion for. The most understanding of crimes I am willing to forgive. This dude I have no respect for!! Go back to your cell.
43:42 NOW IF HE HAS BEEN S/Ad then I MIGHT FEEL A BIT OF compassion. I don't know if in his state their are mental asylums b/c in my state their are three. My state has closed alot of the behavior health hospitals which is the same in many places.
Your exactly right. An that is so true its cuz hes white. An hes also going to get set free believe me. Thats why they do these kind of crimes cuz history tells them they going to get kicked out the back door of the prison. All they gotta do is say they mentally ill an thats they get out of jail free card
For everyone who is so excited for this murderer to be released. Would you want him to be your neighbor or coworker. No one who murders their own parents deserves to walk outside of prison. I pray, no one is harmed by this monster once he is release back into society. But, the likelihood is there will be more victims.
🇿🇦🇿🇦 Why did you kill your parents is the question the interviewer should be asking and focusing on . This guy has to face up to his crime and action. He is rumbling too much and trying to put blame on his lawyer , no lawyer can say you will walk after killing his parents . What did he expect , a trophy and a purple hart? His eyes say a different story , he is a sick person , who this time will be very careful and make no mistakes to get caught , he is going to kill again and kill many and will clean up any mistakes that got him caught last time , he looks hungry for blood , he is talking to the lady but his brain is taking him back there to that bloody horrible scene and he can taste it and is reminiscing it all . This guy was never supposed to be released , something is in his eyes , they are telling a different story and eyes don't lie . Of course he wont come back to prison but that doesn't mean he would have stopped killing , he will commit perfect murders and make sure to make no mistakes and get caught . CapeTown SA here ✌✌🇿🇦🇿🇦
Yeah, they loved him so much that they were literally beating him on a daily basis. And don't go to they were disciplining him. Discipline and abuse are two entirely different things.
@GThompson-ix9bs honestly don't think that I could love my parents if they were abusive to me and my sister growing up. If you don't have good parents, it's quite easy not to love or care about them.
Don't care how old you are. You kill your parents, you never get out of prison, never. I was treated very badly and never thought about doing that or even raising a hand to them. I just left home at 17 and never looked back .
Less than 2 mins in and I see an angry looking guy that looks like he could snap at any moment, yet from the title I know he's murdered not one but two people!!! His parents!!! Oh hell to the NO on this! If not death penalty, than LIFE!!! 😢
Hey thanks for revisiting these cases. I watched them all upon first release and they really captured my attention. A few of the videos I've watched a couple times over the yrs. Always wonder what has happened to everyone. I hope you're able to get in and interview some of the kids, now grown men, to see how they think and speak now. Great work yall. Way to stay committed and follow through. Good luck on your attempts to get new interviews.
@Lonesome_Dove - Thank you!! We are currently in the process of traveling to visit and re-interview as many as we can. We know it's important to see and hear from them all these years later. It's expensive to travel, film, edit etc. and we're a very small team, so we apologize it has taken us a while to bring all new interview to our channel. But we're trying hard to get them done and greatly appreciate our viewers for hanging with us!!
Greg, you are that light. You are the alternative to those kids. You have a story to share. You have a different story to tell them than what their surroundings are telling them. Be that light. Make what you've gone through worth something. Give those who struggle another story and and give them the hope that you found. This is your purpose now. Live that purpose by giving light, and I promise you will never suffer another day in your life. ❤❤❤
@cl9107 - Greg would greatly appreciate your comments. His goal in telling his story has always been to help make sure no other kid feels so helpless and hopeless that they do what he did. He would appreciate you finding the humanity in his story. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Oh, but Greg has a story! Yeah? Guess what - EVERYONE HAS A STORY!!! Everyone. Greg is nothing special. He’s a convicted murderer of him AND his siblings, who unlike Gregory - actually lived their parents. He should never be released. If he wants to help others let him do it behind bars.
There is no doubt that prison reform needs to happen. That being said, I can clearly remember being 14 and knowing right from wrong and the ramifications of bad behavior, frustrated and angry with my parents and living within a very dysfunctional family but never once did I ever consider the possibility of killing them or anyone else. Frankly, I think we should go back to square one and anyone who wants to have a child should ask themselves what they have to offer a child; food, clothing, shelter, love, life skills, problem solving skills, etc. It seems to me that no one really thinks about those very basic things before making such a monumental decision and that's where the trouble begins, then it becomes the rest of societies problem. I have empathy for anyone in a bad situation but no tolerance for the crime he committed. When you take someone's life intentionally, you forfeit your own, in my opinion. He says himself he has had no rehabilitation so where does that leave us when he gets out??? He also says he was mentally ill but does not define the mental illness. I assume he still is mentally ill so what has he done about that? Is he in treatment? Incredibly rude and insensitive statement Scott made about his sister. His sister is entitled to whatever feelings she has about the situation! Something about this situation just doesn't sit well.
What would his Parent's do? Release him? Any loving Parent would. Perhaps, he killed his Parent's because they didn't love him? If my only son killed me...I'd forgive him and hope he stays behind bars for life so he couldn't kill anyone else.
This interview will change nothing, prison reform is desperately needed, the only way it occurs is for citizens such as yourself to put serious pressure on federal and state law makers(politicians) to do so and most do not care, especially Republicans but democrats are guilty too, here's some facts, most prisons do practically nothing to rehabilitate, most prisoners are released at some point, do the math......prison reforms must happen but it's excruciatingly slow to get done, scary for the future since more and more persons are getting locked up, it's actually funny that you think some warden will see this and change a rule, getting therapy isn't a matter of a rule change, it's scary you called it rules, you need a serious wake up call and understanding of how it all really works
@bethewalt7385 actually a warden and/or Sheriff have full control over how they run their jails/prisons. They can 100% "change the rules" as they see fit.
Its intersting listening to him tell such details stories. He communicates so well. I know he is still around people, and its only been 20 years, but so much has changed in those years, it just makes you wonder if some of that influence is the fact that he has not been ruined by cell phones and video games like most men that are his age right now.
@crazymomwife4 - it's funny you mention cell phones. It's one of the things we hear most from people who are preparing to be released from prison after decades behind bars. They are all extremely curious about social media and the internet. We always tell them, "be careful -- it's not as great as you think!"
I’m glad he’s released. I wouldn’t mind having him as my neighbor. Face it 15 year old kids going through emotional issues and sadly neglected by his parents. Mental illness is an illness. I feel for his entire family. They’re all suffering.
Very interesting! I’m so glad I found your channel again, I’d lost you for a good while. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into bringing us these videos. 👍 It’s hard while watching him, *not* to forget about his crime. He comes across as well spoken, but you have to remember he’s committed such a heinous crime!! 😢
@OneLove101 - glad you found us again, and thank you for such nice comments about our work. We try our best to help viewers see all side of the juvenile system, and how that system often lands kids in adult prison too. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
This is the first time I have seen your channel.Very very interesting& provocative case.I hope you will do a follow-up at his 5yr.celebration of being FREE.I was amazed at how he had been able to work on himself and his own thinking to resolve his past and move forward making Good and wise choices to be able to assimilate back into society.I believe he had someone in another plane guiding him. I just want the best for him.He paid his debt to society for what he did.Now it is time for him to thrive.
This murderer should Never have a chance again in life. If we could ask his Parent's beyond the grave.... Parent's, would you want your murderer son released? What would they say if they could speak?
Why should he be given a second chance when his parents didn't get a second chance because he killed them? If he doesn't know why he killed them, then who does?! In my opinion, he should never be released...ever!!! He does NOT seem remorseful in the least!
You have no idea what he went thru. You don’t know him. You don’t know what was happening to him! So easy to judge. No kid should go to prison!! They need therapy! The system is broken. The US had more people going back to prison because it’s a BUSINESS!! Don’t be so naive!
I love the outcome! I know that every crime deserves a punishment but when it comes to young children and teenagers most of the time it is too severe. Lack of money for a good lawyer, no money for bond and lack of compassion and hunger for power and fame on the side of judges, detectives makes it worse. Lawyers charge exhorbitant fees and do not do the job sometimes. Been there done that. Sad not getting any visits . Whatever happened to Prisons Ministering by the Church? Is probably eliminated. We as believers have the mandate from the Lord for compassion and empathy for prisoners. "Because I was in prison and you visited me" said the Lord. You do it to my little ones you did it to me. Love never fails.
This guy should have been locked up for life. He MURDERED his parents! And he complains about how the system is broke, says it's been hard for him in prison. "Me, me, me" is the resounding tenor in his statements. Remorse? Ha! He's a sociopath. His poor, poor parents, may they rest in peace. As for him, 🤮.
@bettydamnboop3030 - Wow, thanks so much! We love our viewers and wish we were a bigger team so we could post even more videos. But until then, we can't thank you enough for your kind words. Thank you!!
When you look into his back story, you see that he literally asked for help and told people what he wanted to do. He was disturbed as a child, yet left to fester. Your mind is the worst for exazerbating ill thoughts into overwhelming issues that aren't anywhere near what you've built up in your mind. Does it excuse him? No. Did he double down on an action that he thought would solve the issue? Yes. He could of self-terminated, but didn't.
You are now a better person, an adult & extremely well versed. Many of the things you talked & spoke about are so true. More has to be done to outreach children & have safe havens for them. Many coming from broken homes, drug ridden families etc. our mental health system is truly broken because most don’t know how to handle it or address it. Even with people who spend years getting their degree can’t ever know what another’s mind is thinking or enduring. It’s a fine line. Yes much better rehabilitation is needed especially for children entering into the systems & institutions. No key should ever be thrown away from a child. We must try & work hard to protect children & their young minds. I’m sure your parents have forgiven you & love you. Keep moving in the right direction & path & I wish you more than many years in prison
Hope he continues to be successful in his life and is at peace with the past. You’ve still got a full life in front of you. Treasure every day ! Best of luck!
What has he done in prison, which portends his future success on the outside? I keep waiting and listening for insight into himself.. so far, not hearing it.
Wait, What?? You said: you hope he continues to be successful! That is what you think success is! What about his parents' lives, I am sure if their son hadn't murdered them they could have lived their full lives, I'm sure if they had any say- so in being murdered by their son they would have voted to live. They had the right to live their full lives.!
I believe if you work hard while being in prison to change then you deserve a second chance.30 years is a very long time to want to stay out of prison seriously.You do right with your self DONT be stupid
@Susannah717 - Thanks for asking. It's the nature of adult prison's, unfortunately. It's why many advocate for young kids to stay in the juvenile system where they are mandated to provide services. Appreciate you asking the question and taking the time to watch Greg's story.
@@CalamariProductions That's wild to me. The more severe cases should call for a more severe psychological support and treatment. I guess it's a lack of resources on that front. Rehabilitation should be the goal imo. I hope this guy does well in life. Best of luck to him 🌷.
I think Greg's mother ate away at his self-esteem during their explosive episodes at an age he was trying to find his way to manhood. His father gave nothing to show him the way. He mentioned how close he was with his mother when he was little. After a while, the pain elevates to anger. It was the relationships that caused this. It's not particularly anyone's fault. 1:26:04 We don't always realize the sensitivity of a boy this age. Think of it, if a father chiseled away at his daughter's self-esteem, the pain and anguish it would cause. Mother/son and father/daughter relationships are crucial to a child's growth to adulthood. The drugs didn't help.
There has been plenty of research done recently on the brain. A young person's brain is NOT fully developed until they are around 25 years old. I don't understand why so many on here think this man is not remorseful. I see plenty of remorse in what he says and also some blame as well. Of course our system is to blame to some degree. If his friends knew about it - why didn't they tell anyone?! Probably because that would be considered "snitching", and those with under-developed brains don't get that sometimes one has to snitch in order to prevent serious happenings to occur. No one knows exactly what was going on in his family, but I did hear him giving his parents some very positive props more than blame. I wish the best for him. According to the notes included, he has been out for 4 years now. I hope he has completely adjusted to his new life and is able to do good for the rest of his life. Karen Grau, I knew your husband while growing up. We lived a couple houses away from each other on State St., and he was good friends with my brother Brian. I hope you are both doing well! The interview was very nicely done, and now I am going to take the time to listen to the others...
Brains not being developed until we reach 25 or so IS NOTHING NEW, decades old medical knowledge, this guy is a psychopath, master manipulator, he's a dangerous, clever man
Very verbose, smart guy who has mastered the skills of word salad and filling the airspace with his own voice to control how this goes. He likes the attention. No remorse except for what he denied himself. Nope. Should never be free.
It's apparent that there’s a general lack of education and insight among some individuals. The U.S. legal system is frankly disheartening. Studies consistently show that harsh penalties do not deter crime; rather, they may even prompt more severe offenses. Contrast this with Germany, where the legal framework emphasizes preventative measures. Although the penalties might appear mild, the objective is both to segregate dangerous individuals from society and to rehabilitate those who pose no danger, enabling them to reintegrate into society. In the U.S., however, the penal system seems driven by motives of revenge and deterrence, with personal wealth too often dictating the length of prison sentences. Research also highlights that the primary drivers of crime are poverty and educational deficits. To enhance societal safety, significant investment in education and economic opportunities is essential. Unfortunately, those lacking education often misunderstand this, erroneously believing that stricter penalties are the key to preventing crime.
I can’t waste my time trying to watch this video because the music is disruptive too loud and you can’t hear what they’re saying And he should never be let out never
If he was abused I can see why he did what he did. I dont think he should have went that route but he did because he felt to do it. I knew a guy in the same situation as a teen he got himself removed from his home and placed in foster care. He was placed with family in a different state . Everyone is different though.
I’ve e watched him a few times, different interviews, while I’m glad he actually used his time for rehabilitation, I don’t think he should be released. You take a life, you give yours, death penalty, or life, and that should be it.
It's Gross, the interview. You both are speaking with him like he's a hero for being in prison for so long! Shame on you both! His Parent's are dead by his hand. Unforgivable and definitely he should spend the rest of his miserable life behind bars.
These interviews come across as a very safe intellectual and philosophical discussion / interview ( blah, blah, blah) . Gregg shares very little about his self awareness or insight as to how he ended up in the situation that he is in. He responds to questions in a very general and “broad brush” fashion, e.g “ my parents didn’t understand me, I couldn’t talk to them” ; he does not divulge any original thoughts , insight nor creative ideas regarding as to how he will be successful on the outside. Whilst he is fairly articulate, he shares very little about his interior world with his audience , things , that would help us to understand his journey of “ self” ; nor does he offer any specific strategies as to how he will manage himself with other human beings on the outside.. (i.e co-workers, neighbors, a boss, rude people, people who will judge him or reject him ( for housing, a job ) how to form a friendship, self care etc. He focuses solely on “ out there”.. society , the legalities of his situation… I did like how he speaks about some of the other inmates and some of the guards. Whilst He does not seem hardened , he does not share with the interviewer or the listener as his experience in regards to how he fared in prison. Was he able to insulate himself in prison? If so, how did he do that? I did get a slight glance into his psyche when he was out and about with the driver and how he chose to be mindful and took everything in… the food he was eating, his awareness of how his driver was being kind to him, how it helped him visit his home town.. how childhood memories were stirred up. As an listening audience member, he does little to convince me how he problem solves, how he takes care of himself psychologically, spiritually, intellectually and emotionally . I have zero sense of his character , who he is, what is important to him, what he cares about, his hopes and dreams.. . I see a mask. I was not very impressed with the interviewers. One interviewer touched on “ the outside” but he has learned many patterns on “ the inside” how to survive. I have seen a fair amount of interviews ( to include Piers Morgan) who have sat with prisoners on death row … they asked very intimate stuff ..the questions that were asked really helped the audience really see who the person is. Sadly, that did not happen here. I have so many questions… . I wish him well.. Good luck

Sooooo… he still doesn’t know why he killed his parents? And according to court documents he had told his mom that all he thinks about is murder? Uhh… maybe we should sort this out before setting him free? What if that mysterious condition happens again?
That was what he was saying. He said he can’t believe he hasn’t been able to receive therapy to help him figure this out.
Exactly! He is sooooo manipulative as well. Only talks about himself and that he has forgiven HIMSELF..!! Etc etc..... Not a word about his parents. This one is still very dangerous!!
He wouldn't be living with me until he figured it out
He paid his dues 🤷
I agree..they need to figure out why he killed his parents before they let him out of there. He might be a homicidal maniac. He sounds a little too smooth like he is conning us.
Imagine killing your parents and being so outspoken. Ain’t nobody trying to hear all that
Apparently the 125K people who have watched this (as of today) may (or may not, who knows) disagree. Someone found it interesting, including me.
He white, they believe each other even when they know he lying, you know that?
Then move on. No one is forcing you to watch or comment.

He’s an honest psychopath. “My sister Tammy means well”! After he robbed her of her parents he condescends to her as if she lost her cat! Talk about glib, and lacking true empathy.
He's going to get set free im sure. Because of the way he look. An alot more people like him gets set free everyday believe me. Thats why the world is how it is now.
Prospective … prospective … prospective. There’s always three sides of it … your side .. their side.. and the truth.

I have a friend who was convicted of a murder he did not commit when he was 20, and is serving 84 years. An innocent man has spent 28 years in prison and this guy is getting out after serving 30/60. In my friends case, The murderer came forward and my friend still remains incarcerated. He was given a new trial and the judge overturned his conviction; however, the commonwealth attorney appealed the case and the SC came up with a "new theory" that he may not have been the murderer, but that a jury would believe he set her up to be abducted.
Name?
He said people who kill their family members should only do 10 years??? He’s still mentally a child
He said you should expect to serve at least 10 years, not that you should only serve 10.
@@stacye3184 I’ve been in prison. I know this guys type. Wants a medal for doing basic life skills n thinks his little dumb prison accomplishments mean shit to anyone. Dudes a 40 year old kid, who will definitely kill once freed. He just needs easier victims then prisoners.
He went into an adult in prison at 15 years old if all of you had ever been in that environment jail or prison host of the people in there are not functioning at mentality of a grown adult that is why they ended up there he was raised play grown children

Killed two people should be life without parole surely!

That’s exactly what I was thinking,
Because he was a minor.
As a newbie to your channel, I went down the rabbit hole. I saw Greg's clips in the Young Kids and Hard Time playlist, but didn't see the full interview before I saw the Ousley interview. I like that his entire story with Calamari is in one video.
@Dexy83 - So glad you found us and were able to watch Greg's story in full. We've recently been doing longer videos like these with some of the other stories we've filmed, where we have everything in one video. We hope you've seen them and stay tuned for more ahead! Have a great week ahead and thanks again for watching!
I know some people who have been thrown down stairs, punched into walls, beaten unjustly for something someone else did. But they never entertained the idea of killing their parents or even striking them. Hurt feelings don’t justify unjustly taking a life. Then two short years his conversation turned to how wonderful he is because of the unjust amount of time he has had to spend locked up, unjust because of how young he was and how they should have treated him for any mental issues associated with blowing his parents away.
Great documenting, very interesting! Appreciate all the work that went into this.
@lava139 - Thank you so much! We're happy you're here with us on our channel and greatly appreciate your nice words about our work. Have a great weekend!
@@CalamariProductions Not happy with your portrayal of this psycho. Says a lot about you.
Great video and content as always. Just a recommendation for next video… please lower the background music especially when someone is talking or get rid of it all together because I’m sure I’m not the only adhd’er that cannot concentrate on what Greg was saying during most of his interviews because of the interrupting music. 😊 ❤

I quit watching just a few minutes in because of the background music. Producer must think it’s a music video. Repetitive and annoying.
What I do not hear is a young man who killed his parents showing remorse. He does not, necessarily, dodge questions but he seems to avoid discussing and perhaps accepting what HE DID to his parents. There are reasons he did not get a sentence modification. There are reasons he served 30 years in prison. He seems to blame the legal system itself for his predicament. Since the details are the murders are not in the video, here is a synopsis. "At around 11:30PM on the 23rd of February, Greg slowly crept into his parents’ bedroom armed with a 12-gauge shotgun. He shot his father once in the face and arm before turning the gun to his mother. The shot had awoken Bonnie and before Greg had the chance to shoot, she had run into the dining room in a bid to call for help. Tragically, however, Greg followed Bonnie and fired two shots at her, killing her in the dining room."
According to Greg, he and his parents argued quite frequently. He said that they argued about chores, about the length of his hair and whether he could go to his friend’s house. In fact, Greg had often spoke to his friends about wanting to kill his parents but seemingly, nobody ever thought that he was being serious. “I had been thinking about killing them every time I get mad. They don’t seem to understand me,” he said to a police officer. The prosecution had argued that Greg should be tried as an adult because the crime was premeditated. “There is no evidence of provocation of self-defense or anything,” said Kosciusko County Prosecutor, Randy Girod.
Big mistake letting him out He'll do it again. Huge narcissist.
@@eugeniasyro5774 Understand that he is being released because he has served his entire sentence minus education credits. I think it took two or three years off of his sentence. 30 years is a long time to be in prison. He was sentenced to 60 years but in Indiana you get one day credit for one day served which cut it to 30. I just don't think he is as sorry as he let's on and I don't trust his weak "remorse".
@@eugeniasyro5774 Sorry but people ca only diie once, no matter how hard we believe. Its a fact! So doing it again is impossible.
Consider the age of this individual. Do you really believe he understands the magnitude of his crime? He does realize what he did was wrong and he should be punished. A 14 year-old does not know about remorse nor understand the idea of remorse. These youngsters are not adults.
Thank you, I feel like I wasted a good part of my life listening to this kid "not admit why he killed his parents" other than he didn't like being told what to do at 14 years old. Oh and the best part "the tight knit small town should have seen it coming and done something" lol He did tell all his friends he wanted to kill his parents so there's that.
I wonder if those who think he should be released would be willing to have him move in and live with them?
Uh, that would be a hell no! No way, I could go to sleep, with him in my house!😮
Because I paid attention to who Greg is now... what makes him tick... what he has held to for all these years in prison... I would completely trust him. Absolutely!
He is NOT that 14 yr old kid... and he didn't let the hardened, long-time criminals in prison shape the man he wanted to grow into.
@@Lisa-ec9qbthey say Ted buddy was charming also and very likable
@@ailsa4584teddy bunny is a whole different story.
@@Lisa-ec9qb I’m curious, what are you hearing in regards to self - understanding ( or as you would say “ what makes him tick”) He’s has had a lot of time to understand what happened and how he ended up here in life . I am not hearing a narrative nor insight as to who he was as a kid , why he murdered his parents in contrast as to who he is today ? I kept waiting for his insight as to why he did what he did. So far,, Im not hearing any self understanding…
This is a tough one - he was 15. Making good choices in a „safe and structured“ environment is different from being in the chaos of everyday life. I don’t really know how to feel.
@queenbuzybee4074 - You're right about re-entry never being easy. We see that a lot. Thankfully, Greg has done well since his release. Support is always key. Appreciate you watching his story!
Im glad he has a second chance at life❤ he has paid for his crime, people are to harsh and critical….hope he doesn’t go back and does well in society…
@@toriwolf5978 . . . what is the payment for taking another's life? What is the standard for defining "payment"? Should we use the standards set by the New Testament or the Old Testament? Where does rehabilitation fit in? Should payment be tempered with the compassion? I think that the biggest issue with this man is the fact that he was socialized in the prison setting; his life became what was behind the walls of the prison culture. His day started with the opening up of his cell door and ended with the closing of the cell door. In between the opening and closing, his decisions were really decided by someone else. His schedule was predetermined, and there wasn't a whole lot of choosing on his part. This man has never held a real job; he's never had to pay a bill. Upon release, he faces some real challenges, and to function well, he is required to meet those challenges thoughtfully and unemotionally. Can decades in prison prepare this man for "freedom's journey?"
His sisters know best. Unforgivable
You can tell he has a very high opinion of himself no matter what he claims. Boring hearing someone talk about themselves as much as he talks about himself
narcs
Good luck to him, all therapy is self reflection, 30 years is a long time to reflect…..I hope he does something good out there
He will not be doing anything outstanding.
Me too! He has a friend in me ❤. I did a term in California women Institution for Women, aka CIW
85% of the women have been molested, rape, and violated period.
Lifers they act like normal people other than most chasing the drugs. Drugs are easy back in the 80s. Big money, which I doubt is still going on. Time has changed. But never did I see a child there 🤔 I feel for these kids.
He knows and yes deserves his freedom.
Don't like prison? Have problems with your siblings? DON'T MURDER YOUR PARENTS.
There you go
If I had murdered my parents no matter what type of parents they were, I would have just sat at a corner and cry forever. My life would have been over. This guy seems to be a sociopath. He's sitting there all relaxed, talking articulately and feeling sorry for himself. If he gets out and feel someone else has wronged him he may do the same
I see your perspective, but he has had 3 decades to think about it. I don't think he should be released either though.
@CRS-fe2zj Yeah he's complaining of his sentence being too harsh and he didn't get a chance but his parents won't become alive again and have a chance to improve themselves either
I can understand someone that had a decent / good childhood would be thinking like you. I, on the other hand, had a real bad childhood and can see how a child could get to the point of killing a parent or both. I was so very close to doing what this guy had done when I was between the age of 14-15 yrs of age, I was at the very last moment when I stopped myself. My mother and her boyfriend were both sleeping and neither of them knew what I was about to do. There was only two things that stopped me at the very last moment, the first was that I figured that I may not be forgiven by God and then I thought about how this would affect my younger siblings. I went through the abuse for another 2-3 yrs before I was finally able to get out. Many yrs later, I finally opened up to my older sister as to what I had almost done.
@sandilacy9498 oh trust me my childhood was FAR from good. I can guarantee my dad was at least 20 times worse than his. My dad was schizophrenic and thought the whole time some other men are in our house and that was why he'd beat my mom and my older sisters all the time. There were times I came home to him dragging my mom around the house with her hair, chasing her around with a knife or brick and you name it. Other children hated school but the whole time I was at school I'd look at the clock and being scared and anxious of going back to that home again. My dad would talk about how much he could sell us for and I was just like 9 years old. He once even brought an old guy to our home and had already sold my older sister for 300 bucks to him but my mom and everyone else kicked the guy out. I'm sorry you've had a rough childhood too but murder is never the answer. He could have just escaped as my brother did and he has built his life ever since and has his own family. As he himself said something is mentally wrong with him. People who have homicidal thoughts usually it can't be treated. They always have to be under some type of supervision in my opinion for other people's safety
But you did NOT kill your parents. @@sandilacy9498
I wish you all the best for the future. This is the second times I have seen this program . You truly deserves a chance at a better life.
What makes no sense...him shooting his father in his sleep twice then chasing his mother down to shoot her. He should've got 2 life sentences!!!
He talks as if he is the victim. 2 people are dead.
narc
And also seems to love the sound of his own voice. Gives me the creeps
My thoughts exactly, if he comes out of prison seeing himself as a victim, he will reoffend, I had a uncle in and out for robbery and drug abuse, he blamed nobody but himself, he never hurt anyone , he stole but never burglarized anyone in person, he took full responsibility when he was shot in the head , he survived, he knew the shooter, he eventually got straight and off parole, he was clean for over 5 years, messed up once and overdosed and died in his early 40’s , I still love and miss him , nobody tried to help him but me , he almost made it.
@@peacefaith560😊😊😢
@anette - you’re 100% correct. And it’s an old tired trope convicts have been using for ages. Perfect for a bleeding heart writer looking for book fodder. Note how his journalist buddy manages to utter a “fuck you” to a sister sibling against him getting out! She (Mary) owes nobody anything - especially to her brother that murdered HER parents!!! She is perfectly entitled to voice her opinion on Greg’s incarceration.
At 52:18 his statement regarding a small town… everyone in everyone else’s business until there’s a problem then “it’s none of my business” 🤯 So true. Small town not required.
Making good choices so you can get out sooner is not the same as making good choices because it's the right thing to do.
I'm going to always be skeptical of this guy. But if he doesn't know why he did what he did I'm going to be EXTREMELY skeptical.
@tanyafrida7380 - since his release we have heard he's finally resolved some of these questions and works very hard every day to be a productive member of society. We hope to do an update soon!
I have sat and listened to this man for me if you really sit and listen with you heart I feel he needs to become a counselor for the youth offender's he really has me thinking it's a calling he's ment for
So you mean they will let you out without any professional help or any kind of guidance after murdering your parents? So the conversations with his sisters will be about what exactly? Why did you kill our parents? Bad idea i believe!😢
Debbie Martin , I totally agree with you. If he murdered the two people that love you over grades, hair length and rules.. no- one else he gets close to has a chance …
This is exactly what took place too…it’s ABSOLUTLEY Ludacris…
Sisters better run 🏃🏾♂️ sisters maybe the next victims
Ask him, does he miss his Parent's? Does he remember his Mother's screams?
I don't hear him minimizing what he did. His point is.....The system is BROKEN!!!! NO 15 YEAR OLD CHILD SHOULD BE PUT IN PRISON WITH ADULT HARD CORE CRIMINALS PERIOD
No child should be murdering parents or who ever.
@@peregrine7303 I AGREE 💯 PERCENT!! When you commit a grown up crime then you'll get a GROWN UP sentence!! DON'T GET ME WRONG, I have a small amount of compassion for SOME teenage murderers; self defense is about the ONLY charges I have compassion for. The most understanding of crimes I am willing to forgive. This dude I have no respect for!! Go back to your cell.
43:42 NOW IF HE HAS BEEN S/Ad then I MIGHT FEEL A BIT OF compassion. I don't know if in his state their are mental asylums b/c in my state their are three. My state has closed alot of the behavior health hospitals which is the same in many places.

For everyone who is so excited for this murderer to be released. Would you want him to be your neighbor or coworker. No one who murders their own parents deserves to walk outside of prison. I pray, no one is harmed by this monster once he is release back into society. But, the likelihood is there will be more victims.
I would be totally comfortable with him my neighbor.
Then you don't value your life
I would be comfortable to have him as a neighbor I think he grew up and taken responsibilitie.
And you know he’s going to tell what he did to everybody he meets.

🇿🇦🇿🇦 Why did you kill your parents is the question the interviewer should be asking and focusing on . This guy has to face up to his crime and action. He is rumbling too much and trying to put blame on his lawyer , no lawyer can say you will walk after killing his parents . What did he expect , a trophy and a purple hart?
His eyes say a different story , he is a sick person , who this time will be very careful and make no mistakes to get caught , he is going to kill again and kill many and will clean up any mistakes that got him caught last time , he looks hungry for blood , he is talking to the lady but his brain is taking him back there to that bloody horrible scene and he can taste it and is reminiscing it all . This guy was never supposed to be released , something is in his eyes , they are telling a different story and eyes don't lie . Of course he wont come back to prison but that doesn't mean he would have stopped killing , he will commit perfect murders and make sure to make no mistakes and get caught .

Let's Not Forget about the 2 People who loved him the most that he brutally murdered.
Yeah, they loved him so much that they were literally beating him on a daily basis. And don't go to they were disciplining him. Discipline and abuse are two entirely different things.
He obviously didn't love them the most.
@GThompson-ix9bs honestly don't think that I could love my parents if they were abusive to me and my sister growing up. If you don't have good parents, it's quite easy not to love or care about them.

Hey thanks for revisiting these cases. I watched them all upon first release and they really captured my attention. A few of the videos I've watched a couple times over the yrs. Always wonder what has happened to everyone. I hope you're able to get in and interview some of the kids, now grown men, to see how they think and speak now. Great work yall. Way to stay committed and follow through. Good luck on your attempts to get new interviews.
@Lonesome_Dove - Thank you!! We are currently in the process of traveling to visit and re-interview as many as we can. We know it's important to see and hear from them all these years later. It's expensive to travel, film, edit etc. and we're a very small team, so we apologize it has taken us a while to bring all new interview to our channel. But we're trying hard to get them done and greatly appreciate our viewers for hanging with us!!
I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near this guy. Family or not
He is cold as ice!
I'm not clear why he is unchained for this interview.
Trust me. Nobody will respect him once he is released. He will have a hard time.
Greg, you are that light. You are the alternative to those kids. You have a story to share. You have a different story to tell them than what their surroundings are telling them. Be that light. Make what you've gone through worth something. Give those who struggle another story and and give them the hope that you found. This is your purpose now. Live that purpose by giving light, and I promise you will never suffer another day in your life. ❤❤❤
@cl9107 - Greg would greatly appreciate your comments. His goal in telling his story has always been to help make sure no other kid feels so helpless and hopeless that they do what he did. He would appreciate you finding the humanity in his story. Thank you for watching and commenting!
He's a psychopath, his light as you put it is fake af, he's dangerous and a manipulator, he's never going to be well

Check out your Bible because with what we judge we shall also be judged. Just a little reminder. @@michaellitchford9285
Oh, but Greg has a story! Yeah? Guess what - EVERYONE HAS A STORY!!! Everyone. Greg is nothing special. He’s a convicted murderer of him AND his siblings, who unlike Gregory - actually lived their parents. He should never be released. If he wants to help others let him do it behind bars.
Brother or not, he wouldn't get out and live in my house.
Is this the the man who couldn’t figure out why he killed his family?
@lymarie1974 - yes, it's him. There is a 2023 update at the end of the video.
Yep.. that’s the one..
There is no doubt that prison reform needs to happen. That being said, I can clearly remember being 14 and knowing right from wrong and the ramifications of bad behavior, frustrated and angry with my parents and living within a very dysfunctional family but never once did I ever consider the possibility of killing them or anyone else. Frankly, I think we should go back to square one and anyone who wants to have a child should ask themselves what they have to offer a child; food, clothing, shelter, love, life skills, problem solving skills, etc. It seems to me that no one really thinks about those very basic things before making such a monumental decision and that's where the trouble begins, then it becomes the rest of societies problem. I have empathy for anyone in a bad situation but no tolerance for the crime he committed. When you take someone's life intentionally, you forfeit your own, in my opinion. He says himself he has had no rehabilitation so where does that leave us when he gets out??? He also says he was mentally ill but does not define the mental illness. I assume he still is mentally ill so what has he done about that? Is he in treatment? Incredibly rude and insensitive statement Scott made about his sister. His sister is entitled to whatever feelings she has about the situation! Something about this situation just doesn't sit well.
Im done please dont kill again You should be in for life.
What would his Parent's do? Release him? Any loving Parent would. Perhaps, he killed his Parent's because they didn't love him? If my only son killed me...I'd forgive him and hope he stays behind bars for life so he couldn't kill anyone else.
I’m so sorry you didn’t get the help you needed, let’s hope your interview will help change the rules.
This interview will change nothing, prison reform is desperately needed, the only way it occurs is for citizens such as yourself to put serious pressure on federal and state law makers(politicians) to do so and most do not care, especially Republicans but democrats are guilty too, here's some facts, most prisons do practically nothing to rehabilitate, most prisoners are released at some point, do the math......prison reforms must happen but it's excruciatingly slow to get done, scary for the future since more and more persons are getting locked up, it's actually funny that you think some warden will see this and change a rule, getting therapy isn't a matter of a rule change, it's scary you called it rules, you need a serious wake up call and understanding of how it all really works
Change what rules?
@bethewalt7385 actually a warden and/or Sheriff have full control over how they run their jails/prisons. They can 100% "change the rules" as they see fit.
He murdered his parents . Clearly something is still very wrong with him.
I agree, but I also wonder what is wrong with you sometimes.
Its intersting listening to him tell such details stories. He communicates so well. I know he is still around people, and its only been 20 years, but so much has changed in those years, it just makes you wonder if some of that influence is the fact that he has not been ruined by cell phones and video games like most men that are his age right now.
@crazymomwife4 - it's funny you mention cell phones. It's one of the things we hear most from people who are preparing to be released from prison after decades behind bars. They are all extremely curious about social media and the internet. We always tell them, "be careful -- it's not as great as you think!"
numbers dont add up? released after 30 years at age of 15 is 45 years of age,,,,,but he is much younger?
He wonders, if i get out will i kill again and come right back? Please keep this killer out of society!
I’m glad he’s released. I wouldn’t mind having him as my neighbor. Face it 15 year old kids going through emotional issues and sadly neglected by his parents. Mental illness is an illness. I feel for his entire family. They’re all suffering.
Take Him In 😅😂 Let Him Be Living With You And Your Families 😅😂
Very interesting! I’m so glad I found your channel again, I’d lost you for a good while. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into bringing us these videos. 👍

We should be kind you have no idea what he has been through since his crime everyone deserves a second chance❤❤❤❤
This is the first time I have seen your channel.Very very interesting& provocative case.I hope you will do a follow-up at his 5yr.celebration of being FREE.I was amazed at how he had been able to work on himself and his own thinking to resolve his past and move forward making Good and wise choices to be able to assimilate back into society.I believe he had someone in another plane guiding him. I just want the best for him.He paid his debt to society for what he did.Now it is time for him to thrive.

😊
Why should he be given a second chance when his parents didn't get a second chance because he killed them? If he doesn't know why he killed them, then who does?! In my opinion, he should never be released...ever!!! He does NOT seem remorseful in the least!
You have no idea what he went thru. You don’t know him. You don’t know what was happening to him! So easy to judge. No kid should go to prison!! They need therapy! The system is broken. The US had more people going back to prison because it’s a BUSINESS!! Don’t be so naive!
Poor guy, no guitar, no counseling, and he doesn’t like being locked up.
Listen to the whole way back on what the parents were like
I love the outcome! I know that every crime deserves a punishment but when it comes to young children and teenagers most of the time it is too severe. Lack of money for a good lawyer, no money for bond and lack of compassion and hunger for power and fame on the side of judges, detectives makes it worse. Lawyers charge exhorbitant fees and do not do the job sometimes. Been there done that. Sad not getting any visits . Whatever happened to Prisons Ministering by the Church? Is probably eliminated. We as believers have the mandate from the Lord for compassion and empathy for prisoners. "Because I was in prison and you visited me" said the Lord. You do it to my little ones you did it to me. Love never fails.
This guy is now an expert on behavior! Give me a break! He should never get out of prison.
He done the time it’s time to give him a chance see what he does with the rest of his life❤im not judging it’s not my place it’s Gods place ///
Be forgoving who are you to judge❤❤❤
freaking exactly! Murdered 2 people and heis getting out is wild!
This guy should have been locked up for life. He MURDERED his parents! And he complains about how the system is broke, says it's been hard for him in prison. "Me, me, me" is the resounding tenor in his statements. Remorse? Ha! He's a sociopath. His poor, poor parents, may they rest in peace.
As for him, 🤮.
If you haven’t gotten therapy, how do you know you won’t do it again ??
10 minutes in, and after all the "I's" and the pity party, I'm done. He wants movies and books. Disgusting.
He talks about himself like he's a good guy he killed two people he should serve every bit of his time
The parents can’t come back but he gets to ??? What a 💩 justice system we have !!!!!
!!!!!
Calamari you guys have the best videos and content and I appreciate you all. I wish we had the option to give more than just one 👍🏼up. Stellar work ❤
@bettydamnboop3030 - Wow, thanks so much! We love our viewers and wish we were a bigger team so we could post even more videos. But until then, we can't thank you enough for your kind words. Thank you!!
When you look into his back story, you see that he literally asked for help and told people what he wanted to do. He was disturbed as a child, yet left to fester. Your mind is the worst for exazerbating ill thoughts into overwhelming issues that aren't anywhere near what you've built up in your mind. Does it excuse him? No. Did he double down on an action that he thought would solve the issue? Yes. He could of self-terminated, but didn't.
Nothing wrong with being good to your boss to get ahead as long as you’re great at the job you want , that’s how to get ahead.
Excellent Documentary.
@ellebooggie134 - Thank you! We appreciate that!
He doesn't deserve to be released!!!
He has zero insight as to how he ended up murdering his parents … based on that fact alone, he should not be let out .
I am glad I was brought up in a good stable household as I cannot imagine committing such a crime and living forever incarcerated.
So easy to point what doesnt work and how things should be but rarely do these people ever improve things. This is the best we have.
He murdered his Parent's. Should be a life sentence times 2. No matter if he figures out why he did it or not.
You are now a better person, an adult & extremely well versed. Many of the things you talked & spoke about are so true. More has to be done to outreach children & have safe havens for them. Many coming from broken homes, drug ridden families etc. our mental health system is truly broken because most don’t know how to handle it or address it. Even with people who spend years getting their degree can’t ever know what another’s mind is thinking or enduring. It’s a fine line. Yes much better rehabilitation is needed especially for children entering into the systems & institutions. No key should ever be thrown away from a child. We must try & work hard to protect children & their young minds. I’m sure your parents have forgiven you & love you. Keep moving in the right direction & path & I wish you more than many years in prison
Hope he continues to be successful in his life and is at peace with the past. You’ve still got a full life in front of you. Treasure every day ! Best of luck!
You call his life successful?
You hope he Continues to be Successful. HE Murdered his parents ending their lives forever !
What has he done in prison, which portends his future success on the outside? I keep waiting and listening for insight into himself.. so far, not hearing it.
Wait, What?? You said: you hope he continues to be successful! That is what you think success is! What about his parents' lives, I am sure if their son hadn't murdered them they could have lived their full lives, I'm sure if they had any say- so in being murdered by their son they would have voted to live. They had the right to live their full lives.!
I believe if you work hard while being in prison to change then you deserve a second chance.30 years is a very long time to want to stay out of prison seriously.You do right with your self DONT be stupid
He’s been in prison for 30 yrs for killing his parents yet did not receive any psychological help?
@Susannah717 - Thanks for asking. It's the nature of adult prison's, unfortunately. It's why many advocate for young kids to stay in the juvenile system where they are mandated to provide services. Appreciate you asking the question and taking the time to watch Greg's story.
@@CalamariProductions That's wild to me. The more severe cases should call for a more severe psychological support and treatment. I guess it's a lack of resources on that front.
Rehabilitation should be the goal imo.
I hope this guy does well in life. Best of luck to him 🌷.
He got the prison therapy
I think Greg's mother ate away at his self-esteem during their explosive episodes at an age he was trying to find his way to manhood. His father gave nothing to show him the way.
He mentioned how close he was with his mother when he was little. After a while, the pain elevates to anger. It was the relationships that caused this. It's not particularly anyone's fault.
1:26:04 We don't always realize the sensitivity of a boy this age. Think of it, if a father chiseled away at his daughter's self-esteem, the pain and anguish it would cause.
Mother/son and father/daughter relationships are crucial to a child's growth to adulthood. The drugs didn't help.
There has been plenty of research done recently on the brain. A young person's brain is NOT fully developed until they are around 25 years old. I don't understand why so many on here think this man is not remorseful. I see plenty of remorse in what he says and also some blame as well. Of course our system is to blame to some degree. If his friends knew about it - why didn't they tell anyone?! Probably because that would be considered "snitching", and those with under-developed brains don't get that sometimes one has to snitch in order to prevent serious happenings to occur. No one knows exactly what was going on in his family, but I did hear him giving his parents some very positive props more than blame. I wish the best for him. According to the notes included, he has been out for 4 years now. I hope he has completely adjusted to his new life and is able to do good for the rest of his life. Karen Grau, I knew your husband while growing up. We lived a couple houses away from each other on State St., and he was good friends with my brother Brian. I hope you are both doing well! The interview was very nicely done, and now I am going to take the time to listen to the others...
Brains not being developed until we reach 25 or so IS NOTHING NEW, decades old medical knowledge, this guy is a psychopath, master manipulator, he's a dangerous, clever man
Very verbose, smart guy who has mastered the skills of word salad and filling the airspace with his own voice to control how this goes. He likes the attention. No remorse except for what he denied himself. Nope. Should never be free.
I agree with you 100%
Amen
Agree! Why do we care about his assessment of the system for children.
Could not agree more
Yup he's trying to get a book and movie deal...maybe Lionsgate will pick his story up....make a couple million..
Great documentary Congrattttttt
If I was his Aunt, I'd disown him too. What he did is Unforgivable.
As human we cant see this been forgivable but ir is
It is
Never apologized or showed any remorse for killing his parents he either does not care or this documentary didn't want to show that
I don't know how you can ever be released from prison if you killed someone let alone your patterns!? 😮No just no.
Well, I’m wondering that too..He has said that he is so sorry and that he had a lot of anger back then. Also he forgave himself… time will tell..
I’ve killed some patterns but I just donated those sweaters when I finished knitting. Lol Just teasing you. Autocorrect comes for us all!
@@CornbreadOracle Autocorrect can be dealt with by attention to detail.
I smell a rat.
He's so good, he's fooled you.
Good luck on your release brother
Why didn't this documentary continue after he got out? All we get is a written paragraph at the end.
He Should NEVER,,NEVER ,EVER Get ,,,OUT,,,
Never mind, your comment in but have no idea what went on
It's apparent that there’s a general lack of education and insight among some individuals. The U.S. legal system is frankly disheartening. Studies consistently show that harsh penalties do not deter crime; rather, they may even prompt more severe offenses. Contrast this with Germany, where the legal framework emphasizes preventative measures. Although the penalties might appear mild, the objective is both to segregate dangerous individuals from society and to rehabilitate those who pose no danger, enabling them to reintegrate into society. In the U.S., however, the penal system seems driven by motives of revenge and deterrence, with personal wealth too often dictating the length of prison sentences. Research also highlights that the primary drivers of crime are poverty and educational deficits. To enhance societal safety, significant investment in education and economic opportunities is essential. Unfortunately, those lacking education often misunderstand this, erroneously believing that stricter penalties are the key to preventing crime.
Gregs gonna be blown away with all this new technology
This guy will kill again. Ultimate sociopath. Cannot stop talking about being misunderstood.
I can’t waste my time trying to watch this video because the music is disruptive too loud and you can’t hear what they’re saying
And he should never be let out never
If he was abused I can see why he did what he did. I dont think he should have went that route but he did because he felt to do it. I knew a guy in the same situation as a teen he got himself removed from his home and placed in foster care. He was placed with family in a different state . Everyone is different though.
These children in handcuffs is INSANE!!
Fascinating interview-- said he reunited w/ his family- how amazing none of us can imagine--
I’ve e watched him a few times, different interviews, while I’m glad he actually used his time for rehabilitation, I don’t think he should be released. You take a life, you give yours, death penalty, or life, and that should be it.
He should've got 2 life sentences.
Imagine spending 30 years in prison, getting your freedom back, and then covid happens.
Imagine having a family, and your 15 year old son murders you. 🤔
Your Mother awoke to her Husband being shot and running for her life. You Shot your Parent's!!! I hope you never get another car ride! Rot in Prison.
It's Gross, the interview. You both are speaking with him like he's a hero for being in prison for so long! Shame on you both! His Parent's are dead by his hand. Unforgivable and definitely he should spend the rest of his miserable life behind bars.
These interviews come across as a very safe intellectual and philosophical discussion / interview ( blah, blah, blah) . Gregg shares very little about his self awareness or insight as to how he ended up in the situation that he is in. He responds to questions in a very general and “broad brush” fashion, e.g “ my parents didn’t understand me, I couldn’t talk to them” ; he does not divulge any original thoughts , insight nor creative ideas regarding as to how he will be successful on the outside. Whilst he is fairly articulate, he shares very little about his interior world with his audience , things , that would help us to understand his journey of “ self” ; nor does he offer any specific strategies as to how he will manage himself with other human beings on the outside.. (i.e co-workers, neighbors, a boss, rude people, people who will judge him or reject him ( for housing, a job ) how to form a friendship, self care etc. He focuses solely on “ out there”.. society , the legalities of his situation… I did like how he speaks about some of the other inmates and some of the guards. Whilst He does not seem hardened , he does not share with the interviewer or the listener as his experience in regards to how he fared in prison. Was he able to insulate himself in prison? If so, how did he do that? I did get a slight glance into his psyche when he was out and about with the driver and how he chose to be mindful and took everything in… the food he was eating, his awareness of how his driver was being kind to him, how it helped him visit his home town.. how childhood memories were stirred up.
As an listening audience member, he does little to convince me how he problem solves, how he takes care of himself psychologically, spiritually, intellectually and emotionally . I have zero sense of his character , who he is, what is important to him, what he cares about, his hopes and dreams.. . I see a mask.
I was not very impressed with the interviewers. One interviewer touched on “ the outside” but he has learned many patterns on “ the inside” how to survive.
I have seen a fair amount of interviews ( to include Piers Morgan) who have sat with prisoners on death row … they asked very intimate stuff ..the questions that were asked really helped the audience really see who the person is. Sadly, that did not happen here. I have so many questions…
. I wish him well.. Good luck
He doesn’t sound very remorseful to me. I vote that he stays locked up.
