Patriarch of incestuous Fresno-based "clan" found guilty (*Disturbing*)
These kinds of scumbags are apparently always ready to kill their children and talk about how it is going to be a group suicide but ultimately seem to be the only ones left alive to stand trial.

And, of course, Fresno? Hmmmmmm.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Marcus Wesson, the domineering patriarch of a clan bred through incest, was convicted Friday of murdering nine of his children, whose bodies were found in a bloody pile last year at the end of a police standoff.

Wesson's conviction on nine counts of first-degree murder makes him eligible for the death penalty. He also was found guilty on all 14 counts of raping and molesting seven of his underage daughters and nieces.
...
Several witnesses testified that Wesson had repeatedly coached the children to be ready to kill each other and themselves if authorities ever threatened to break up the clan.
