The mother's good fortune would most likely go to her grandchildren (I hope). They are not lost causes yet, like their father. This guy sounds like he would beat the life out of his mother. Good time to lock him up for good Mommy! Look at what he has done to the lives of your grand children

Even though his mother can afford a good lawyer (now) for her son, I ask why throw good money after bad for! I know I wouldn't (if I was her), especially with a track record of committing domestic violence against the woman before and spending time in jail for it before! Now he can spend the rest of his life in jail or just admit it and ask for the lethal injection as soon as possible and be done with it! But he won't, he'll claim to be innocent, just like most losers

I take people who are violence or alway asking for money very seriously, there's no good reasons for either to be in my life if they aren't family. Even being in the family has its limits.

Investigators say Ruth was released from jail in October for domestic violence against Morgan.

I wish the police had taken this case more seriously BEFORE he killed his girlfriend. Domestic violence is not a joke, but they usually wait until they find a body before they actually listen to the frightened woman whose life is in danger. Where did a convicted criminal get a gun? (I'm not naive, but this is another big problem in our society. Surprised it didn't happen in Florida.)

Will all that money, his mother might be making arrangements to get him out of the country. BTW, that is the happiest photo of a suspect I've seen in a long time.
