Your Honor, I've spent my whole adult life trying to understand how the mind of a killer works. How he thinks, how he feels. William Gary is not capable of doing the things he has been convicted of.
“Covenant” · Season 1, Episode 16
In this episode: Frank Black (3)
He may be feeling so guilty that he convinced himself he is responsible for the killings.

Fashion an angel for your wife's birthday and then kill the family. Happens all the time.
Why didn't you let you lawyer use temporary insanity?
GGary
I wasn't insane. I was angry. I was in rage. I let things build up shame on me.
GGary
I came in from working in the garage. I was tired. I put in a long day. William Jr. was coming down from the stairs. He didn't see me at first. I think I thought I was just smacking him till I realized I had the chisel in my hand and there was blood all over me... my son was dead. My wife came down from the stairs, she must have heard the noise. There was no stopping now. After I was finished with my wife I went into my daughter's room. Mary was awake. That made it more difficult. She cowered on her bed crying. She didn't fight. She didn't fight back or try to run away. It was the first time I had ever laid a hand on her. I had to go upstairs to Gabe's room. I'm grateful now he didn't wake up to see me looking down at him. He was only five years old. Once you start something like this you somehow have to finish it.
