Mother Refuses to Believe Son Attacked Her with an Ax | Christopher Porco Case Analysis 

Maybe the prosecution thought it would be easier to get a conviction on 2nd degree?

In NYS first degree murder is reserved for the killing of law enforcement officers

It doesn't matter though. Even if he doesn't die before he gets out he's going to be an old man.

He's filing some kind of motion that he had ineffective counsel and that the police held a grudge against him. He's a spoiled, sick brat who needs to just STFU and wait until the parole board laughs in his face. Clown 🤡

I wondered about this too: apparently first degree murder is a rarer charge in NY. There are a few strict criteria a crime must meet or it's second-degree. So while this has the 'second degree' label, for all intents and purposes it is a premeditated murder, hence the life sentence.

Peter was on automatic pilot. I agree the whole idea is quite creepy. I doubt that he would have survived even if he’d gotten help while still alive.

Nightmare fuel

He wants nothing to do with the fuckin creep.

It's like they were already on auto play and in denial for years.

@@ailleananaithnid2566 lots of people are in an autopilot haze first thing in the morning! You learn not to think, just DO. Putting one foot in front of the other and you wake up halfway out the door! LOL

@+①②⓪①⑨②②⑤⑤④③WHATS'ApP You're such a creepy person lol. Delete your account

Spammer!!! 😲

Both sides of the family know Chris did it. Only his mother stands by him. Interestingly she moved to an apartment near where Chris is incarcerated so she can visit him.

@+①②⓪①⑨②②⑤⑤④③WHATS'ApPME If only Christopher went after you instead of his family.

I guess her trauma has taken a toll on her mental health. If guilt is behind her actions how would she get through this time except by being around to visit him. Time and getting to know him better might cure her. Poor woman. 😕

No I think your guilty conscience is crying out for help.... Common tell us where you hid the bodies... 😐

I have disowned some. One is dangerous i think. Druggie and drunk. Stole her 80 something grandmothers car. Stole her pain meds and even the robe I bought her grandma. I finally told her I was done and lose my phone number. She moved several states away a day or two after her grandmother died. 40 something and still acting like a teen.

I absolutely agree.

@@user-rp4rj8gf3w Not funny.

You have to leave and never look back. They will persist though saying we are family, relatives. Don't fall for it. Ever. There is such a thing as the bad seed, sometimes bad seeds as in multiples. People do not change. Better to break one's bread alone than live in fear.

i agree, horrible

Absolutely disgusting on the part of the son. But this is nevertheless total NPC behavior.

Only when you ran outta lube... 😢

@@cht2162 🐷

Sickening

Probably... because he's nothing but a spoiled, entitled, sociopathic little bitch. BTW: I live in Albany, NY, and this whole ordeal rocked the area.

When I was 15 Our family Doctor and his wife were murdered by their son who was in the class above us. This murderer was hyper active, oblivious and harmful to students. He was tried as an adult. The violent deaths of Dr. and Mrs.B really shook our small town up. Oddly no one ever talked about it and yet Dr.Bresnann was the only doctor in town, everybody knew him and the family. Often wonder what happened to the sister, she was just a year older than Jim, He used a knife, not just shooting. He lied and tried to cover it up by saying a stranger came to the camp grounds and killed them. I haven't been able to deal with it until lately. It just never made sense to me. But when 24 years ago my daughter said she wanted to kill me I listened to that and so after many years of her hate and anger I removed myself from the continent. I had to come to terms with why she felt that way and that it wasn't going to change.I saw similarities in her behaviors and traits and other dangerous people and so I heeded my instincts. It hasn't been easy. The need to keep mothering is very strong.

Brutal

sounds like most people. brain dead zealots going thru the motions.

It’s probably too painful for him to admit that it was her son. The betrayal of your kids when you are vulnerable is a hard pill to swallow but boy it is deadly to let it remain stuck in your throat.

Is that your professional opinion, doctor?

@@stubstunner first of all a doctor wouldn't be the one to decide that, a neurologist would. And second of all it was confirmed by those neurologists that she had severe brain damage from the attack and suffered memory loss. So yeah it kinda is a professional opinion LMAO

@@amaryllisflower then why did you present it as your opinion instead of that of the neurologists lol

That was adorable. And the cute, bunny salt and pepper shakers!

I wonder how the other brother feels about it though. I'm sure people have tried to convince her the son is guilty but she refuses to believe it

Could also be desperately trying to salvage the remnants of the family unit. Or maybe could be one of the very few who takes responsibility of springing unsolicited existence in a dystopian world, on someone. It’s always very hard to decipher what someone else’s thought process is.

@@rowdyninja8529 damn I love that second paragraph you wrote, most parents are not only not aware of that, but ironically act like they did you a favor. Fuck people who think that way.

it would hard. can you imagine a son, who was still her baby in her mind, attacking with an axe? That's a hard pill to swallow for any parent.

That cannot be true, as most birds don't have penises

So Christopher was a bigger failure than he knew

The other brother must be devastated.

Not a chance. How can the other brother deal with his mother fawning over a sibling who tried to kill her and killed their father. Guaranteed the other brother is going to have a tough time dealing with his mother’s favouritism.

Jonathan was in the military and lived in another state at the time of the murder. Its a shame he really lost his whole family. He was a good young man.

@@annwilliams6438 How do you figure there's favouritism?

coming from a Kevin Spacey movie, it has a whole new meaning. 😆

Yes, my thoughts as well!

A high level of trust for Dr. Grande. I think you might want to watch some videos on who is Dr. Grande, REALLY. Have a good day!

Hear, Hear.

First and only patreon I've subscribed to. For good reason.

Agreed! 💜

Yes, most women are weak, they shirk responsibility at every turn and blame others, and this is what the research of Harvard professor Lawrence Kohlberg shows (that women lack advanced morality statistically). Failing to take responsibility is a moral failing.

Chris Watts as well

Casey Anthony’s mother knows she’s a monster. So does dad. It took them awhile but they came around.

@Sabrina Rodriguez The same for me. I live FF. Do you watch on YT. Of course I found Dr. G. I can say that parents but mother's don't always deny a child's guilt, but still love them. However when you know your child's guilty but won't admit it. As well as do things to support them. It's baffling. My friend was murdered by her husband. A case not far from Univ. of Rochester. A suburb just outside called Greece, NY. 💙 KH

I know the ep - it's haunting (although reconstructed).

The brain is astounding when dealing with physical trauma and shock. When my father in law was in a car accident and all his teeth were knocked out he was sitting there when police arrived trying to eat peanuts.

@@dianamarie5663 omg 😱

I remember this case from forensic files too but completely abolished from memory him doing his routine in that state; absolutely devastating to hear...

The first for me is a story of a guy in Afghanistan after an IED. The Hummer landed upside down and blew the guy's head off, it landed in between his legs and the other guy still in the seatbelt and seat saw him look at the body, realization flickering in his eyes, then at the guy in the seat and screamed but no sound came out because of no lungs. That lasted for all of 2 seconds then he was dead. I'm not doing the story justice... It was horrible!

@@We_Are_All_Vultures omg that's horrendous 😢

What a card!

🤪😜🤪

🤣

Good one !

@orange man gas $2 - Oh sir, you are too much!

What is his brother like? I am wondering how personality are determined by nature, nurture and of course choices a person makes.

@@joincoffee9383 , From what I understand he’s a great guy and well liked. He was in the service when this happened. Of course he came home immediately. He believes his brother is guilty. That I know. I don’t know if he’s here in the area or not. He may still be in the service. I’ll ask my friends who still live in Delmar if they know.

@@TallulahBelle3276 thank you for your reply. I think lots are determined by a person’s own choices, unless one is really truly psychotic and behave madly day in and day out.

@@joincoffee9383 , I think he was overindulged. They weren’t rich but they grew up in what’s considered a middle class neighborhood that has really nice homes. The school district is one of the finest in our area. As a kid he never wanted for anything. Clothes, and all the things kids want. He kept stealing money from his parents when he went away to college (fraudulently) n his father threatened to cut him off. He was spending their money like it was his job. That was shortly before he murdered his father but failed at killing his mother. The two children were going to inherit money. That’s why they presume he did it motive wise. From the things that came out in the trial it appears they were good parents n good people. I remember Peter’s coworkers on the news being very emotional talking about him n what a wonderful man he was to everyone. He was an Appellate Division court clerk. No abuse or violence in the home. His brother is nothing like him n offers no defense of a bad or abusive childhood.

Your welcome, @Join. Coffee. I agree with your comments.

😳

Yes christopher is disgusting. Amber heard is not in the same category it is wrong to put her in the same sentence as this monster who killed his parents, she has committed no such violent crime

Narcissists and borderlines are dangerous. Run for the hills as soon as you know they are one and cut off all contact if possible. Even the seemingly not-so-dangerous-yet ones do have the potential to develop into one. I have seen one narcissist acting more and more in harmful ways. They change, and most often to the worse direction. The older they get, they more diabolical they are and they behave. It’s hard to believe they can, but the fact they keep lowering their moral standard has gradually convinced me to expect the worst from these personalities. There’s no limit to how low and cruel these characters can go. Experience and educating myself on Cluster B personalities has helped me reaching this mental clarity. Thank goodness for the availability of educational contents on the internet nowadays. I believe it has saved lots of innocent victims lives, or mental and physical health. I grew up knowing my borderline mom is the most dangerous person on earth that can kill or harm us kids badly. My dad recently told me on the phone that he felt she’s a scary psychopath and could kill. I could imagine his eyes filled with terror when he voluntarily told me this. Meanwhile he hasn’t treated us kids good either, he’s more of the neglecting, selfish and occasionally abusive parent, and often was and still is my mom’s flying monkey in abusing us so he can save his own ass by joining her. He’s a man coward, I have zero respect for him. I am a parent now, I can’t help comparing him with myself as parent, and he has less than one tenth of the giving, caring and protection I have given to my children.

Amber is mad at Johnny for choosing drugs over her. But she didn't kill anyone.

@@jaymike3302 what the hell are you going on about!?

Men tend to commit the vast majority of violence, so I imagine the more sons you have makes it more likely (even though it’s still extremely unlikely)

Now that you mention it... Wow. You're right. I can think of a few off the top of my head and I'm sure there's many more

Speak to a therapist. Try to get her some help too.

Your GF was lucky you cared.

@@izzy706 she was raped in 2003 and is happily married to someone else. I already have the tools necessary for him to be dealt with I don't need therapy for hating a pile of dog crap

@@nerdynellie4729 took me 15 years to get my mom to stop going over to his place on Christmas day. I straight up said I earned Christmas and he lost it and it was the last one she spent over there. And surprisingly, she just accepted it. Maybe the look I gave let her know she was going to lose all my love and respect if she argued.

@@didamnesia3575 You are very aggressive and controlling. I can tell by the way you try to control your mother & what she does. It's your mothers house & she has to tip-toe around you & your feelings. How about you get the authorities involved if that all happened. I was only giving you advice.

Do you think you would be able to? Process any of this?

Joan was in denial before he attacked her & continues to do so.

Do you have any idea how would you process that?

Very heartbreaking and hard to fathom.

@+①②⓪①⑨②②⑤⑤④③WHATS'ApP I'm so tired of you fucking scammers:. I got something that will stop you...

He’s a psychopath. Doesn’t care

🤔😆😁🤣😂 💯

@@moniqueloomis9772 YES. The PERFECT revenge!!!

I remember watching FF. The narrator had the perfect voice for that type of show.

Forensic Files is one of my favorite shows!

That's quite insensitive. A person died, and another one was disfigured for life.

I just moved to Colonie from Delmar this past October...I think Dr. Grande should look into the case from Lansingburgh where the waitress from Verdiles ended up in a suitcase in the Hudson....I believe that was in 2015. I was working at the Troy Public Library in downtown Troy then...

I noticed that. Shit sucked the soul outta him 😓

😦

@Clay Leone - Ohhhhh ... you are SOOOO funny!! (Not!)

You're from the area too? I live in Troy.

I lived in Delmar until last October. Now I'm in Colonie...

What is enough for a narcissist?

Lots of parents have no proof but still think their child is innocent.

I know i was wondering that too, since the other son seems to be normal and was probably spoiled just like physco chris. In my own opinion he should have gotten the death penalty, it makes me sick she caters to his every whim in prison, what a monster.

Thank you for the inside information! Can you think of any other interesting info? This case has always fascinated me. Absolutely heartbroken that the father was loading the dishwasher like normal as he was fatally injured....:(

And the toll!

And the fact he parked his jeep in his parent’s driveway

@Peter T You are far too kind

Here is a case that evidently shows love, properly understood, is conditional. People’s belief in unconditional love will always empower evil. You love someone because they’re loveable, not for no reason, no condition.

@Peter T Or some men's evilness.

Agreed. As are some fathers.

Daughters too.
