<quoted text>. Okay now I am a really strong women trying to be strong for my family everyone keeps talking about just two pol in this and their son but what is killing me is this man planned this little does everyone know he wrote it all down before it happend. And here we are a family without our brother who was a father a son and also a great friend to slot of ppl and he was killed for NO REASON !!!!!!! so can we all just stop being ppl bashers and realize we are all going through a crisis and yes there is always two sides to every story but there is one story that can't be told and that's the one for my brother that was minding his business and came into a situation blind folded. Not even knowing and just trying to be a friend to brandy and her son. So please ppl stop bashing who did what specially in this situation their past is not what needs to be talked about it's the future of the families in this situation.

I did know Matt and Derrick. Matt was a MONSTER. He abused a girlfriend back in high school and almost everyone since then. He would have always done this.

I know Matt too, and have for ever 10 years. I also knew Brandy. I know that when there is something terrible that happens it makes it easier to place blame. The problem is, the only innocent parties in this are the children. Brandy pushed his buttons, and he let her. What he did in high school doesn't mean a thing. I'm sure everyone did things in high school that were wrong. That doesn't mean you're a monster. Bashing him isn't going to change a thing. All it's doing is showing the ignorance in the world. We don't know all the details as to what took place that morning. We don't even know what took place to lead to the sexual conduct with a minor charge. Who knows if he was even aware that the girl was 14? You aren't God and have no right to judge him, or anyone else. I'd love to see how the reaction would be different if it were your brother who had been pushed to the point Matt was. Would you be calling them a monster?

Jaxon, Derricks son is my cousin, Derrick and I have had a difference of opinion , but he DID NOT deserve this, Brandy Was not a perfect person I am sure (no one is), but she did NOT deserve this!!! I do not know Matt or Brandy, I do know from experience how circumstances can make very normal wonderful people to do evil things, but to those defending Matt you have to admit his past does not paint a pretty picture. Should our justice system be different, YES. A piece of paper does not stop a bullet. From one of the articles it said Brandy had 2 sons, I know that Derrick had 2 wonderful children. I am sure that all 3 victims had family and friends that loved them, they are who need prayers, this fighting isn't going to help anybody!! It's not going to bring back Derrick, Brandy, or Matt all it is going to do is give these children a tarnished name for the parent they loved. Let the cattiness stop and support all 3 of these familys!!

If he was truly your brother, the last place you should be is posting on this forum. Go comfort your family. Stay off the internet.

<quoted text>. Now I am Derricks sister too.... We have just as much right to post what we want how we want and when we want to do it . If your such a good person you wouldn't be telling people things like that . And you would mind your business. This is our lives we want people to know that our brother was killed for noooooo reason at all just because he was a friend and Matt wasn't man enough to not do what he did!!!!!!!!! If he was even a man he wouldn't of done it around his son for his son to see. Now his son is left hurt and alone without the two people he really needed and that was his parents. So let's us express our hurt how we want!!!!!!!!

"Just natural selection at work" has nothing to do with this. Evil does.

I slightly disagree, Sad4U. It's not so much evil as it is what we teach our boys. We teach them to be strong, never needing help, that they can manage things on their own, don't be such a wimp. Had this man sought out some counseling during his marriage, divorce and afterward, he might have been able to give up his rage at feeling betrayed. But, instead, that rage brewed inside him, grew and grew, til it took over his senses, and he resorted to lethal violence. Very sad on all levels.

Why didn't she get a restraining order? This is sad all the way around.

the sad thing was he was court ordered to but never went! Why did the court never hold him in contempt?

ANYONE WHO TAKES ANOTHER PERSONS LIFE IS A MONSTER. IF MY BROTHER WOULD HAVE DONE THAT YES I WOULD HAVE CALLED HIM A MONSTER. I NEVER SAID I WAS GOD! come on...he didnt know she was 14...hahah he has you fooled! You can tell when someone is atleast under the age of 18! Matt and Brandy had problems since day one and they pulled my friend into it! YOU WERE JUST BLIND TO SEE THE TRUE MATT

Like many have said there were 2 sides to the story and only one is being reported. Matt had moved on for all you who say he hadn't. He was happy and just wanted to live his life and get on with his life free of her. It's sad this happened but maybe you should stop bashing someone you don't know when you don't know both sides.

I agree it's not fair to put all this up and make Matt to be a blame for all of it. He was not evil in anyway and I agree what anoymous said someone needs to put the shot light on who brandy really was cause a good person is not it.
