The Wrongful Conviction of Bryce, a 15 year old MinorChild

Bryce did NOT shoot anyone. At age 15 my son was arrested for the murder of his best friends father, before he died the victim named his own son, it's in the police report. Based on evidence I believe the victims wife & and son to be the masterminds. I believe they used Bryce / his vulnerabilities for their financial gain. A witness told how she was involved. Bryce is not culpable for any part in the states case against him. His father David, paid the lawyer who PRESENTED NO DEFENSE.

Skyview Unit will be the death of my son

IF SOMEONE DOESN'T INTERVENE!

VIOLATION OF EIGHTH and FOURTEENTH AMENDMENTS RIGHTS. By acting with an evil motive or intent, or with reckless or callous indifference.

A list of professional persons in the state of Texas, that I have requested assistance from, for my son in this on going matter. The list includes those that ignored my pleas for help to save my son and those that misdirected me, gave me the run around and or flat out lie.

💰 $1,273.80 = RECEIVED EVERY 30 DAY’S
PER BODY IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT=hole
💰 💰 $3,697.80 = EVERY 60 DAYS, “OR”
TWO BODIES IN ONE ADMINISTRATIVE
SEGREGATION CELL. aka the hole.
FOUR MONTHS = OVER 7K tax payer 💰

GO LOOK AT MY SON AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. They REMOVED HIS SCHIZOPHRENIA DIAGNOSIS “AGAIN” AND PUT HIM IN THE HOLE, Mid DEC 2019- Bryce also has MAJOR DEPRESSIVESIVE DISORDER. They then diagnosed him with “SEVERE PSYCHOSIS, I exspresed that psychosis is a SYMPTOM of schizophrenia. It runs in my blood family. They seriously don’t appreciate when you advocate for your child, they take it personally. I’m just trying to save my child from dying at the hands of ADULTS.

Bryce has been a G2 for years. I suspect this unit will attempt to build a false BEHAVIORAL disciplinary case history against my son. Some how Bryce will be blamed. He’s conditioned to reply with… I’m okay.

If an inmate speak out about any form of abuse by those who have power over them… that inmate WILL BE TAUGHT A LESSON… he will wish he was dead. I bet he already does.

WHAT SKYVIEW TDCJ TELL ME

I’m being told by TDCJ, that it’s UTMB medical and mental health staff who are AGAIN removing Bryce’s diagnosis of schizophrenia. I can’t be sure because, with this diagnosis removed, it’s TDCJ STAFF that will BENEFIT by removing him as needing protection, and staff isn’t required to check on non-schizophrenic prisoners as often.

RIPE FOR SUICIDE.

Bryce is a passive 25 yr old young man, who is being placed under brutal conditions “ON PURPOSE” by TDCJ Staff. When will Skyview-UTMB mental/medical staff report this, and or INTERVENE? UTMB website gives a list of items that lead to suicide. Yet it’s acceptable for TDCJ to force inmates into a SUICIDAL MINDSET!

MOVE HIM OUT OF THIS UNIT BEFORE HE TURNS UP DEAD.

THE ABUSE CONTINUES

He has now dropped “A LOT” of WEIGHT from these SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS NON-STOP-RESTRICTIONS & PUNISHMENTS & removal of his true diagnosis…

My son is over 6 ft tall. HIS TEETH are now the size of a five year old. HIS SKIN IS TRANSLUCENT WHITE from LACK of NUTRITION & LACK of SUN. HIS EYES LOOK SUNKEN IN. Just Twenty five years old and he’s dying.

April 8th I contacted UTMB Supervisor Stephanie Cervantes. Within hours Skyview unit told me my son was off restrictions, he was now in a group therapy and has his own cell in the dorms…. That lasted a day.

EASY TARGET EASY PREY

Humans like Bryce cannot defend themselves. Not mentally or physically.

4-18-2020 Restrictions remain, he is still in SOLITARY CONFINEMENT or AdSeg, Segregation, It’s called different names. They placed him on strick restrictions, even restricting showers and drinking water. His Deterioration has exhilarated since SKYVIEW entered into his life. No tv, no outside, no socilizing, no phone calls or commissary, no visitors. A small amount of food passed through a slot…NOTHING! He was kept in hole for hours, days, months and it continues.

In Dec 2019, a reporter wanted to interview him. She didnt get to do that.

To be continued

I want my son alive and well. I want my son to come HOME, so I can get him well again.

Bryce’sMoM,

baby please hold on. 🙏

THE PATTERN

So many families have warned that their incarcerated loved one is in danger, they can’t take anymore abuse, they become suicidal because of the constant mistreatment. OMBUDSMENS DUTY IS TO PROTECT TDCJ STAFF. I’ve been emailing them non-stop! He looks at your report, and sends a responds back in a letter which reads: OFFENDER SAYS HE’S OKAY or HE’S FINE. You know & TDCJ knows he’s suffering… UTMB knows, SO MANY UNNECESSARY DEATHS.

THE DANGER REMAINS

I believe Skyview Personnel want to seek revenge against me for a letter I wrote on OpEdNews PRISON IS QUIETLY DESTROYING MY SON.

https://www.opednews.com/articles/Prison-is-Quietly-Destroyi-by-vandergrift-bryces-Committee-For-Investigative-Reporting_Fear_Internet_Jamal-Khashoggi-191217-248.html

The Gov of Texas read that letter and had my son removed from dangerous COFFIELD UNIT where he was also put in AdSeg = SOLITARY CONFINEMENT. Bryce was reassigned back to SKYVIEW. Heard Coffield just had another SUICIDE in their AdSeg solitary confinement cell.

Please help save Bryce.

I request that my son be removed from Skyview and placed back to MONTFORD UNIT. Montford had a similar incident years ago. A 27 yr old died under same circumstances. I’m told they have not had another incident since.

PLEASE HELP ME SAVE MY SON.

-BRYCE

THE BOWELS OF HELL THAT IS IN
A TEXAS PRISON.

BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, I am requesting that you PAUSE, and look upon inmates as HUMAN BEINGS –

My son, an inmate, in your prison is
BryceSetonVandergrift-01661857-DOB:09-09-1994

After ten years of constant communication, my beloved child is no longer calling home, or writing. My fear is that he will continue to deteriorate. The forensic psychiatrist and psychologist said he would. Their reports were never presented to the newly appointed Judge. Convicting my then newely fifteen year old, mentally ill since birth, CHILD, is in for MURDER.

Bryce did NOT shoot his best friends father. That’s in the police report. Nor is he CULPABLE for this murder. This is also in a report. In fact the news dubbed this story MURDER or MANIPULATION. Bryce was easily manipulated. The news was told to hush about my son’s mental health history. Bryce was set up.

CONVICTION is all that mattered. He’s now 25 and yes, he’ll always be MY CHILD, MY SPECIAL NEEDS BABY, MY BELOVED SON. Bryce is a handsome young man, a life wasting away. Will he ever get married? Will I ever have a grandchild? He’s deteriorating in Prison because

“HE WAS MENTALLY ILL TO BEING WITH. In my care here in Florida he was fine. Shortly after moving to Texas, to spend time with his Father, Bryce ends up in Prison. All well documented.

Prison is destroying him, destroying me. His father and our older son Brett, had abandoned Bryce, years ago.

I have called the SKYVIEW UNIT and each time I’m told Bryce is free to call or write to me. I don’t know what to believe anymore. He’s NOT calling or writing. He has received letters from TWO very ATTRACTIVE WOMEN, one all the way from IRELAND! and he’s NOT responding? Do you know what that is? That there is A MASSIVE RED FLAG!

Maybe he’s not receiving any Jpay emails, letters, books, magazines, photos and or cards that are being sent to him. This would further his deep depression. And harm our strong bond.

ANY NUMBER OF REASONS COULD BE APPLIED.

1. DEATH-SUICIDE-MURDER-He is DEAD via SUICIDE or Murdered by another inmate or by prison personnel BLUNT-FORCE.

2.MALNUTRITION- He is too weak due to the LACK of NUTRIENTS because the food is worse that what is served a STRAY CAT. And or because he’s being fed two small meals a day, such as a baloney sandwich, a chocolate chip cookie and a cup of contaminated water.

3. RAPE-SNITCH-INMATE VIOLENCE- He’s been GANGED-RAPED and knows if he SNITCHES, it will only get worse. If you SNITCH, your going down, DOWN into THE BOWELS of HELL. I’ve heard first hand and second hand accounts of weakened inmates like my Bryce, being knocked out and raped, then sent somewhere to have their rectum stitched up, Only to be raped again and again as in PIMPED OUT for food, favors, drugs and more.

Is this what is meant by OUTSOURCED VIOLENCE? This system, that is unable or unwilling to protect an inmate from inmate assaults. Apparently, these acts of violence are only “NOT” okay, if they are done OUTSIDE of prison. Inside is another story.

By now Bryce knows there is NO GUARANTEE that reporting RAPE is going to solve the problem. Besides the fact you would now be known as a SNITCH, It’s my understanding that PREA reports are very carefully look over, or carefully OVERLOOKED, this is done in order to keep statistics down.

4. INCOHERENT- HE is INCOHERENT from repeatedly BANGING HIS SKULL up against The CONCRETE WALL, because of the mental anguish and or he just wants to be DEAD instead of being DEHUMANIZED and CRIMINALIZED because he was born PREDISPOSITION FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA, And he has schizophrenia. Managed with medications.

5. EXTORTION-He is being EXTORTED. All his phone funds and commissary funds are GONE.

MORE VIABLE REASONS.

6. GOVERNMENT-FUNDS-PRISON PERSONNEL want Bryce’s thirty year sentence to be IMPRISONED for LIFE, for the sake of THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR BILL. 💰 Thus they have cut his ties to the outside world. Is this part of the FIRST STEP ACT? I have witnessed Laws do the OPPOSITE of what they are suppose to do.

7. BRAINWASHED- He’s once again been brainwashed to go against the only family member left that LOVES HIM, HIS MOTHER.

8. THE HOLE-SOLITARY CONFINEMENT-ADSEG-ADMINISTRATIVE SEGREGATION. Inmates have been place in these for DECADES…DECADES. ISOLATED for
D-E-C-A-D-E-S. Is my son in one of these isolated spaces?

9. HE HAS BEEN MOVED- Has he been moved out of SKYVIEW MENTAL HEALTH UNIT? Is he now in an undisclosed location? Where is my son? WHERE is my son!

10. THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT A LOCAL HOSPITAL- Has he been sent by ambulance back to the Emergency Room? Is he okay? Is my son alive? Is my son ALIVE!

11. INCORRECTLY-DIAGNOSED-Did you change his diagnosis? From what I know, the mental health care is way below any viable standard. Percription drugs are plentiful. Inmates with schizophrenia are NOT suppose to be placed in the LARGER more DANGEROUS UNITS. They did this to him twice before. I’m surprised he’s still alive.

IN ENDING THIS POST I ASK OF YOU ONE LAST THING. PAUSE… Think about my Bryce and others, think about me as a
parent. NOW picture yourself, and YOUR LOVED ONE in our place. This could happen to anyone and IT IS happening.
To those that know and live what my son and I are trying to survive… It is hell on earth. IT IS BRUTAL.

PLEASE HELP ME TO SAVE MY SON. Or share our story. Drop him a letter in the mail… please.

I have thought about making videos whereby I am talking about Bryce’s tragic position. I haven’t because a lot of the time, I just cry. The cruelty that’s flourishing in PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, is trying to crush my beloved son and I. 💔

I appreciate your time & consideration. Kind Regards,
Bryce’s-M❤M msdmariepelletier

PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX : GIVE ME BACK MY SON! Let me get him well again. I am familiar with this disease. My father had schizophrenia, he took his life at age 39. I have his death certificate that proves this.

Kind Regards, Bryce’sMoM msdmpelletier. 💔

If anything happens to me, please write to my son and tell him how much I love ❤ him and that I never stopped trying to find him help. I would die for my son.

Bryce, I LOVE YOU to infinity and Beyond. Love Your MoM. Always remember that being your MoM has been my most VALUED POSITION in my life. OxO ❤ 💔

NOTES: If you want to know more about prisons and or mental health. I find it best to take time to research the subject. There are lots of places you can hear first hand stories from inmates and or their family and friends and other’s.

Some things sound absurd because they are ABSURD. Such as Texas holds the Gold standard for Mental Health Treatment… On the other hand some stories sound ABSURD, yet they are TRUE. Such as There are more mentally ill, severely mentally ill people incarcerated than are in
any hospital or place in the entire United States. This business is no longer first about any crime, real or fabricated. It’s first about getting those 💰 funds, free to cheap labor and destroying families.

In my opinion, the main reason children are deemed competent adults, is because funding is higher for adults, omitted rehabilitation and they can given longer sentences.

KARMA? NO. The rain falls on the Just and the Unjust.

🌟Dear Fred Cantu Jr. RIP as always Much Respect.

Shortly after he passed, before the case was finished in court. His wife Grace O Cantu collected the Insurance Money. A witness told police that she said in a divorced, she’d get the house or money. He told the officer she wanted both.

INTERNAL AGENCY NBR 943297

I believe someone has made up a false habitual offender arrest record possibly dated MAY 05 2009. I did a background check on Bryce after this tragedy happened. He had no prior arrest. In the courtroom the defense told the Judge his client had never been in trouble with the law before. This was Honorable Judge L. k. Jarrett's first murder case.

Ten years have passed. He's now 25. He no longer has involuntary muscle movements. His tics from Tourettes, subsided years ago. There's more to TS than tics. His mental health is managed with medication. My Tourettes is finally mild!

Bryce believes in God. He does not swear, smoke or do drugs. He has no gang affiliation and no tattoos. He loves and respects me. Prison life is deteriorating him both mentally & physically.

The defense attorney Anthony B. Cantrell. was hired by Bryce's father, David Vandergrift, who was given immediate plausible deniability and has stopped communicating with our son since early 2013.

There are clear violations from being alone when waiving his Miranda Rights and giving a false confession in which he continued to have the details of crime wrong. No one told him there is substantial evidence to show that even the victims wife had motive, means and opportunity. Or that the weapon supposedly found near Bryce's father's home, was not the murder weapon.

A witness went to the station and told police about her involvement. The wife and her son wanted Mr. Fred Cantu dead, before they met my mentally disabled child. She was a speech pathologists for special needs children" like my Bryce. I have the police report.

What's in the courts case against my son is not what happened. Bryce's history and this case is well documented. I believe this is why I've been denied transcripts. Bryce still believes this was a Capital case and a jury would have given him a life sentence or death penalty. The court case also has fabricated negative information about me as a mother. It's meant to discredit me and is common practice in cases like this. The 55 page forensic psychologist report outlines that this negative info is also false. She told me if this case goes to trial, she will be a witness for Bryce.

My son was told that he had shot a man three times in the chest with a shotgun while he laid asleep on the couch. Bryce said "oh I did"!? as he nearly fell backwards onto the floor tipping back in his chair, in his own astonishment! I was there. The autopsy report shows victim was shot once. Fred Cantu died during surgery at the hospital. I have the report and posted it online. Bryce continues to believe what he was told he did.

Fred Cantu RIP. Much Respect.
A Navy Veteran.

No one told Bryce that there is a 55 page forensic psychologist report, stating that he is not culpable for any part in the states case against him. And she found my 6'1 child, to be an incompetent child.

While EMS was working on the victim, he told police his own son Nick shot him. It's in the police report. As is a blood splattered t shirt upstairs in Master Bathroom, a shirt known to have worn by the victims son.

An officer suspected the victims wife and wanted her investigated. Why wasn't she investigated? The lawyer told the newly appointed Judge, well your honor, it looks like my client was the shooter!

I still live in Florida, Hillsborough county, Bryce is in Texas. I am a six year honorably discharged veteran. Could Bryce get transferred to Florida? He and I are all we have.

This pic is from the news on sentencing day, it captures my sons deep frown and sorrow, after he was openly and publicly admonished in by victim's sister MelindaCastilleja, for the death of her brother Fred Cantu Jr.

I did not attend the sentencing hearing. It was too much for me. I was under a bridge off Roosevelt street, near my hotel feeling suicidal, until I again realized that I'm all Bryce has and I'm the only one that cared/cares about him.

It's my understanding that NickCantu her nephew and the real shooter, was not admonished. By now I am sure Melinda knows my son did NOT shoot her brother and that he was manipulated to be framed. Bryce still believes he did this.

.Prison is Quietly Destroying My Son

Dear. Rep James White House Corrections Committee. & fellow Veteran:I am in fear for my sons life at. Coffield Unit, TX

Listen To Lawyer. In court, he didn't present a defense & Bryce didn't shoot anyone. And not capable of being a mastermind.
https://youtu.be/3copCtmkZ0k

UPDATE 12-14-2019.

Skyview/Hodges Unit Personnel, removed my son's long time diagnosis of schizophrenia/bipolar and replaced it with major depression/severe psychosis. NOTE: severe psychosis is a symptom of schizophrenia. So he's back at skyview/hodges getting drugged up, then they will return him to dangerous coffield.
You cannot sleep in that empty bed at Coffield Unit, if you are a G2 with schizophrenia/bipolar.
SO THEY REMOVED BOTH!
Coffields strong desire to have my son IS STARTING TO CREEP ME OUT! I believe bryce will get extorted, repeatedly raped & then die. Ombudsman will find no violations.
I believe that my sons SCC state classification code of his mental and medical health, has been downgraded in order to fill an unexpected empty bed at the Coffield Unit Prison, in Anderson county, TX. I also believe his long time G2 good rating has been increased to G4 without justification.

It was May, 2019 Mother's Day month, I took my credit card and flew out to finally see my world: my son, who was at Monford Unit Psychiatric Facility. I would stay for two weeks.

Pretty much everyone I encountered treated me with respect. It worked both ways. Looking and listening to my son, I could see that he had significantly deteriorated both mentally and physically.

Bryce Is at least 6"1 maybe 6'2. When he was fifteen he was 6" ft. He was taller than anyone in the court room, yet the youngest. He had lost a lot of weight. He has a long reach but he doesn't have any muscle mass. He was obviously on prescription drugs that were given to help him. He seemed weak and tired easily.

I was not allowed to hug him or even touch his hand. We visited with a plexiglass between us and talked to one another through a phone. Tears streaming down my face. It had been almost ten years.

He ate the snacks I bought as if he hadn't eaten in a few days. I'm talking about $20.00 dollars worth for each visit. I was granted extra long visits, I was happy about that.

His skin was the color of milk, almost translucent. His teeth had skrank to half their size. He seemed smaller, thinner. Still, it was wonderful to finally see him again. I was sad for him and myself but my heart felt good.

What happened before

While Bryce was at Beto unit, he was so gaslited that he had a psychotic break down. He believed certain people on TV were talking to him. He was breaking away from reality. He started to hear voices. The voices caused him believe I was being hurt. He said he heard me crying for him to help me. He believed that I was being extorted. My son was ready to die for me.

He was transferred to Montford Unit. There he was again medicated and treated for these psychiatric problems to include suicidal thoughts.

I had received a phone call from a Mr. Stephen Bryant who told me my son needed to be in a safe keeping unit. I was very relieved. Bryce was sent to the safekeeping prison at Price Daniel Unit.
Within a very short time Bryce was beaten up by some big guy.

My son was sent to the emergency room where he was cared for and given liquid stitches on his face. He was sent to Montford Unit again. I asked: "What happened, ALL these years of not fighting?" He told me: "Mom, sometimes in prison you can't avoid a fight." When the guard asked him who started the fight Bryce didn't answer.

I had every reason to believe he would return to Price Daniel Unit and that the man that put my son in the hospital would have been moved and or warned. But that isn't what happened.

I know that Bryce liked that unit. He told me he had more opportunities to go to worship services. While at Price Daniel he had asked me to send some books on bushcraft, surviving and living in the wilderness. He always like that kind of thing, he has extensive knowledge on that subject. He can make formidable Youtube videos.

From Montford to Skyview Unit

Then I stopped hearing from him and stopped getting letters from him. I became concerned again but all I could do was wait. What I didn't know was that he had been transported to Skyview Unit, which is a psychiatric facility near Beto and Coffield unit. This is where I believe his classification was changed. It appears he has been punished for the fight that had put him in the hospital. He was sent to Coffield.

I believe that minimising his mental health conditions and changing his good conduct rating to a rating that is not factual, is what had to be done in order to have that empty bed in Coffield unit occupied. Over the last few years this units tragic and seemingly avoidable deaths have been steadily increasing. Whose's bed was Bryce given?

Recently

Almost two weeks ago I started to get a gut wrenching feeling that my son was in danger, that he was going to die. I started researching for information about who I could contact. There's some serious stuff on the internet about that unit. It only made matters worse.

I was calling the unit but I wasn't getting far. So I called every day, sometimes a few times a day. I couldn't help myself. Each person I talk to, the details about my son were different. He was alive but not doing well.

I was told that he's in Segregation for two weeks. It's a more secluded part of the prison where one is locked in a cell with another person 22 hours a day. I think it's one of those cells that just have a slit in the door, with limited air flow. I bet those walls radiate the cold from outside.
One person said Bryce was separated from the general population because he was having problems with some inmates. He stated that he is in fear of his life if he is sent back there.

Another person told me Bryce was suicidal. Again, my son is no longer equipped to handle these fights or the manipulation. There's over four thousand inmates at that unit. Price Daniel safekeeping unit had over one thousand.

Is he on his meds? Or did the declassification stop those? I'm suppose to wait for him to sign a release form before I can find out. I'm just trying to help my son.

I kept being told he's free to call me. Then why hasn't he? I know something is wrong. I kept calling and finally a person went and got him. He was somewhere with this person and on a speaker phone. It was good to hear his voice even though he didn't sound good at all. He wouldn't tell the person in the room anything. He didn't trust him. We talked about him getting into protective custody. He said it isn't that easy, he has tried. I told him I'm going to keep trying to find him help. So I guess he can call me if he's in a room with prison personnel? Hmmmm. Something is WRONG.

I started to believe he's being extorted, controlled etc all over again. This would explain why I've received mail from people in Coffield unit wanting me to write them. One wanted me to be like a mother to him. It breaks my heart but there are rules of respect for other inmates' family members.

Prison personnel I think are taught to put it all on the inmate. Oh and tell them to grow up. One can get a beating by going outside, but one still can go. It's like with the unit having air conditioner. Oh there's a/c, WE HAVE A/C. The inmates don't and in the winter, all they have a is blanket and a jacket.

Last month I had solicited about six people online who agreed to write to him. I had no shame. The outcome could be good. He wasn't writing back. That's not like him. He would write thank you. I knew when I saw him at Montford that he was losing hope. He said so. A letter, a photo, a card could increase his hope.

After talking to the warden I started emailing all around Texas and sent about five emails to Ombudsman prison liaison office, who in return told me that they will investigate the matter and after Bryce signs a release form, I'll be mailed via post office, the results. I felt better until I searched the internet and people posted about their own situations and posted that the Ombudsman will side with the prison's actions. I feel helpless; so I'm going to write and send mail "To whom it may concern". What else can I do?

Bryce doesn't know that we have the same fears: fear they'll add more time, fear he'll never get out. The fear I'll be too poor or old to help him. For years now, I've been dealing with my own Tourettes Syndrome which erupted at the end of 2013. My tics and twitches are mild now. It's been rough. Ever since he's been wrongfully convicted, I've been walking around with a broken heart.

On 12/31/2009 last day of the year, my 15 yr old minor-son was arrested for the murder of his best friends father. Before he died, the victim named his murderer, he said his own son Nick, and it is part of the original police

🌟 THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT ANYONE COULD SHOW ME PERTAINING TO THIS CASE AGAINST MY CHILD, THAT I COULDN'T PRODUCE IRREFUTABLE FACTS TO SHOW THAT MY SON DID NOT SHOOT ANYONE AND THAT HE IS NOT CULPABLE FOR ANY PART IN THE STATES CASE AGAINST HIM.

MY SON IS NOTHING MORE THAN A HUMAN BODY, ASSIGNED A NUMBER, WHO HAS A BED OR MAT ON THE FLOOR, INSIDE A CELL, DRUGGED UP AND DETERIORATING. 💰

GIVE ME BACK MY SON!!!!

I am asked who is Brycevandergrifts earth father, davidvandergrift of saintaugustineflorida and previously of texas. Why wasn't the victims wife and bryce's father investigated?

AUTOPSY REPORT

From day one, all were told that the victim had been shot three time. Bryce and I were told that same thing. My son still believes it.

In the police report the victim's wife said her husband was sleeping on the couch because he had back problems. I don't believe this. I believe they were having serious marriage problems and discussing divorce. There are entries in the paperwork that validate this.

bryce's fathers home

were the drugs in FredCantuJr system, there because he took them? Or was he drugged?

did the victimes wife tell her husband about what the social worker said that their son had violent tendencies towards his father? Why were there unsecured weapons and ammo in the house? I DON'T THINK THE WIFE TOLD THE HUSBAND OR WOULDN'T HE HAVE LOCKED AWAY HIS WEAPONS AND AMMO? A gun supposedly found near bryces fathers house, COULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE MURDER WEAPON.
