Mr. Parks, a 23-year-old Canadian, had large gambling debts. One night, while sleeping with his wife and child next to him, he got out of bed, got into his car, and drove 15 miles to the home of his wife’s parents. There he attacked them with a knife, killing his mother-in-law and seriously wounding his father-in-law.
