Nathan Boyd: Remorseful?


So Nathan Boyd was abused? That's old news, whether anyone wants now to deny it or not. The abuse was revealed almost 20 years ago during initial legal proceedings for the two brothers. Not all abused children turn into killers, but it seems that Boyd did. He even dragged his brother into his crimes. Now Eric Boyd, guilty or innocent, also sits in prison.

Friday ended a long wait for a new sentencing hearing for Boyd. Actually, the wait is still being endured by victim Danny Sledge's family. How will Judge Gil Self rule? Will Boyd now be sentenced to Life with Parole? 

We somehow doubt it. It might have helped Boyd's case if he had ever uttered any remorseful words.

What of older Boyd brother Eric? His first parole hearing ended in a denial. He will be eligible for a second hearing after April 1, 2019. Looking at what little of his record that appears online, he seems to have been a model prisoner. It's extremely sad that Nathan dragged him into a miasma of violence...and that Eric let him.
