Did 3 yr old David Harris drowned his 4 yr old brother?


I think it is possible, especially if he used an object to hold him under the water. If he did, it would not shock me a bit.

Definitely had nothing to do with it, you could tell from the man's reaction he was devastated by it.

Rewatch the movie. He said the kid walked out of the yard and fell into the elderly neighbors' pool

He also said that Adams shot the cop, so forgive me if I don't take the guy who kills people at his word.

Earlier in the film, an investigating police officer (I believe it was) explained that David Harris never told the truth. One has to wonder if Harris's story about the death of his brother was the truth, or not.

reply

I think it's quite likely he pushed his brother in. Perhaps that's why his father couldn't stand him.

reply

I'm 50/50 on it. Either that, or the event screwed him up, as he stated. I tend to think he is a bit too much of a psychopath to be so emotionally affected by an event like that, but you never know.

reply

It's exactly people like you who give false testimony because they think they know and judge something they have absolutely no idea about.

Stop it.

To me that's just as ludicrous as the doctor who made up his mind about the guys mental health in 15 min. It's a pretty wildly speculative statement. Possible? Yes. Quite likely? Please...
