Chris Watts' parents defend him, say Shanann was abusive and that she isolated him from his family
Colorado murderer Chris Watts' parents have finally spoken out about their son just a week after he pleaded guilty to murdering his pregnant wife and their two young daughters.
Ronnie and Cindy Watts have said that their son isn't a "sociopath" even though he told them that he killed his pregnant 34-year-old wife Shanann. Cindy spoke candidly to the Denver Post on November 12 and said: "I know he confessed, but he was railroaded into it."
Watts pleaded guilty on November 6 to the murders of Shanann and their two daughters — 4-year-old Bella and 3-year-old Celeste — in August after he struck a plea deal with the prosecutors. This meant that the 33-year-old father-of-three will not be facing the death penalty but Cindy said she told him not to confess to a crime he didn't do.
