Michael Glance first tried to shoot his son with a pistol but it misfired, then grabbed a shotgun and pulled the trigger while the boy was strapped into a car seat as his mother attempted to flee, prosecutors say.
After being severely abused by their own parents, David and Louise Turpin, for years, some of the couple's children had a furry friend to help them testify in court.
