#NBCNews #Manhattan #Judge
This is actually my cousin. My mom is good friends with the mom that passed, my mom heard about it just today and she was crying trying to find out what happened and when she died ive met them before when I was little its just sad the son had major adhd and anger issues and my mom has been going over to see them for over 20 years
I am so sorry Austin. It’s a tragedy all around. ☮️💕
So sorry about your family loss but also thank you for giving an insight to others as to what you think might have caused this……That you beleive your cousin had ADHD and anger issues explains a lot to us and also if is common for prominent people such as judges to try and protect their grown children by never mentioning they have underlying mental health issues…….I hope your extended family can eventually heal from this tragic event.
Hmmm. . .if the guy that died is your “cousin” wouldn’t his mother be your “cousin” too? Your mom and his mom wouldn’t be “good friends”. They would be family as well. Usually ADHD is a diagnosis to explain learning disabilities and lack of focus. You don’t really hear about morbid violence as an effect from this disorder. 🤔🤔🤔
That’s why they call it FAKEBOOK
I’ve noticed that a lot of rich families are f’ed up.
When it’s time to pay rent, this is what happens.
Whites are hilarious
This could be a medication side effect…or in combination with a street drug. Those warnings sheets are really troubling.
No way there’s no history. Maybe nothing on record. People don’t just snap like that.
I swear not into conspiracy crap but the vaccines are making people crazy. It just doesn’t make sense. People are flipping out
Sounds like step mommy didn’t want to play anymore
KARMA is coming for USofA Judges that play GOD with people lives! Just keep watching and God Bless ALL stay safe please🙏🏾✌🏾
Of many of the gruesome crimes that happen in NY and other big cities, “psychologists”/”therapists” are directly accountable, but they’re free to “suggest” any “remedy” they choose without any consequences
Cities like NY are their “beehives”
He’s a judge I’m sure you wouldn’t find records of domestic violence! Dude Killed his mom then jumped out the window naked?? I’m sure drugs played a huge part in this…
Mobb boss hit style .
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA 😂 rich people suicides make me laugh, not gonna lie
May the two Rest In Peace .The judge May he find solace in his faith.Demonic forces taking over
Sounds like someone was doing drugs. I’d never be able to be naked in front of my parents. Ew
This is so sad what kind of world are we living in you suppose to honor your mother and father that your days may be long on the earth
Karma. A lot of judges take pay offs. Sentence innocent people to prison terms. And involved in all types of corruption
Narcotics
Covid shots making people crazy?
These are the people that are judging us?… Unbelievable! Effed up people unbelievably rich judging the rest of us !,
so annoying
That’s the thing about respectable families… they may have huge problems behind closed doors. Toxic parents breed toxicity.
Son had disabilities and anger problems it’s the artificial dyes I’m telling you her son took his life because he accidentally killed his mom it wasn’t on purpose and like my son with disabilities he can’t live with it and luckily my son has medicine now and also he has not artificial dyes that affect his axceity levels and stress.
Repent
The kingdom of God is at hand
Did the judge ever release repeat offenders? If so. I don’t feel bad.
Maybe it wasn’t the kid
Revenge on the judge, can’t see it
This guy is no spider man thats for sure.
After all that money, wealth years of sacrifice. What a sad, unhappy ending.
Terrible
Seemingly happy…
We never know what happens behind closed doors 😢😢😢
So shady judge? 🤔
If he jump out the window naked and also use a piece of furniture to murder his mom….that dude was probably on drugs
How awful! So sad.
God bless
A Democrat
Very sad. Too early to know what happened.
WTH!!?? Wow 😳
Very close lip… Naturally
20s is when major mental disorders surface, that and drug experimentation.
LOL
We.need The Kingdom!
Cannot Be reached for comment… REALLY WHAT SHOULD HE SAY TO THE MEDIA? PLEASE tell us…😡😡😡
For three decades he was a dirty judge and karma hit him big time,, he’s done that too many people probably and now it’s being done to him he will be alone just like the prisoners he sent to be alone because he was probably paid off
He did a naked plunge without the water 🤣🤣🤣
It sounds like Doug was onn the drug spice! This is such a tragedy!😱
Never know what was going on in that house. They could of been abusing him throughout his life, idk n then jumping out naked 🤔
Unfortunately NY would have just let him out if he was arrested. They have a habit of doing that.
🙏💐🙏
Lewhite man strikes again
Omg sounds like he was skitzophrinic. Horrible
She probably told him “I can’t keep giving you money for drugs”
“Seemingly happy family on social media” there ya go right there. SM is nothing but smoke & mirrors
And poor people Always think that living in these areas is perfect as the media presents. Far from it
Wow
Drug use? Im guessing a defence attorneys son would be a hot mess
So sad 😢.
Wow how sad
These people don’t care (Joy to you and me) there just for profit and don’t stand for truth or dignity, that’s one reason their ratings have gone down and will keep going down if they don’t get their Together.
The son must’ve been in drugs or was struggling with some types of mental issues. My condolences
it looks like russian related …. like what happened to Ivana trump….
Now he could have went crazy all of a sudden, or there were records of prior stuff, that his Dad buried or got to go away before it made it to the record stage.
I smell a russian conspiracy here ….
Dang… I thought they were gonna show him taking a dive😡😡
Das wild
💅🏾 what y’all having for dinner?
Son was either on drugs or bipolar or both from the details here. Sad. RIP to the Mom.
Maybe drugs or alcohol was involved 🤔
But given the victims social status they may have been able to keep that out…?
Yt on yt violence? 😝
😲 Wow!
What a horror.
What a tragedy. 😔 condolences to the family.🙏 Rest in peace
Someone was on drugs…
Karma
Wow horrible
Most of these people look to be happy and as if they have it all together but love, respect and true compassion for each other is missing. Money is good but if people are not wise, it can be the detriment of their lives.
Cocaine is a helluva drug
I don’t think anyone would commit suicide naked
I bet it had to do something with hard drugs
To me, it sounds potentially like another case of psychotropic drug ‘medicating’ and its side effects. Hopefully someone will consider this and look into it (I have no idea if the young man was on any, but it is possible) . It is a serious issue world-wide and hopefully someone with a powerful voice can help raise public awareness… maybe put a stop to it someday.
How about if they both were murdered and made it look like her son did it?
All praises to our heavenly Father for putting that spirit on the devil. The children of Israel need to prophesize every day against each devil who has harmed us from the beginning of slavery! Our heavenly father of the children of Israel has said to us remember the days of old.
Just awful. Poor family.
This was none of our busineaa. SMH
We know what “curiosity” did to the cat. Well, I imagine this is what “privilege” did to the son!! 🤔
I just wander did the judge have something to do with it
Just goes to show all the money in the world, can’t save you from the demons within..
Im not surprised the son took PCP, bath salts etc. yah the signs are there: naked, violent, suicidal.
The drugs these days are wild
This man just lost his entire family in one night? Oh my goodness. I hope friends and extended family are there for this former judge. This is absolutely debilitating!
Seems like drugs maybe involved here
yah also add mental illness, pressures from home, feelings of inadequacy , feeling he is a failure, dad probably berating him, dad probably wanted him to do something for himself, staying at home mooching no job. mom probably telling him to get a job, finally the guy snaps and he kills the mom, probably drunk and on drugs, then when he realizes what he did, committs suicide.
Sounds fishy. Man killing mother with furniture and then jumping naked to his death…. That’s literally unheard of.
First of all if you’re really leading a happy life you don’t have time to post on social media. The happier and more perfect things look on social media the more dysfunctional the family is behind closed doors.
Who cares who he was or the son of… main stream media seems to think that it means something that if his dad was a retired judge- who the f cares where the pos came from- he’s a pos and dead, thank God.
😦
Mental illness is at a all-time high
So many stories like this
Everyone’s assuming the son was the abuser. Normal well adjusted people who weren’t abused by their parents don’t usually bludgeon their mothers to death and jump out of windows naked.
It takes a lot for a person to start hating their mother that much.
That, or undiagnosed mental illness..
Woman bludgeoned to death by her naked grown son.
Hmmmmm?! This guy was on drugs.
