His family is keeping a no profile in this case! His parents weren't there when he went to court yesterday. He now has a public defender. No use in his parents throwing good money away on a high-priced attorney.
They must be devastated right along with everyone else. They probably had no idea their beloved son would do something like this. Probably afraid everyone will blame them for unleashing this monsterous child. Not to mention the criticism that will be engendered by the many pictures Ludwig posted of his hunting activities, complete with beer and gutted deer.
I wonder if they knew Ludwig was secretly dating Kara and whether they knowingly facilitated that in any way.
The reporting today is that these teens were trading nude pics of eachother on the internet. Just lovely.
