SICK!, He's right, he is sick.

Here's the story:

RALEIGH (AP) — The Charlotte man who's expected to plead guilty to murder charges in the deaths of his twins says he killed the 5-year-old girls during a game of hide and seek.

"I knew I'd hurt them," David Crespi said in an interview with The Charlotte Observer. "I knew they were dead. But I never looked at them."

His twins, Samantha and Tessara, were stabbed to death in their home Jan. 20. Crespi, a 45-year-old former bank executive, was expected to plead guilty Friday to two counts of first-degree murder and spend the rest of his life in prison.

Both girls were stabbed more than a dozen times.

"I know what I did was wrong. I wasn't well and I did a very bad thing," Crespi said. "I was very sick. My God, I would never do that in my right mind."

Crespi said he decided to plead guilty and spare his family — including his wife, Kim — the trauma of a death-penalty trial. He said he believes life in prison was the best he could get.

"By pleading guilty, the legal part of this will be over quickly for my family," he said.

Crespi spoke with the Observer in recent interviews at Central Prison in Raleigh and at the Mecklenburg County Jail in Charlotte.

In his confession, Crespi described his battle with depression, which caused him to think about killing his wife, children and parents or running over strangers with his car.

He had always been able to stop himself, he told detectives. The twins' killings, he said, "had to happen today because the thoughts weren't stopping."

He talked about how Tessara liked to dance and Samantha liked to swim. Tessara's favorite colors were yellow and purple; Sam like blue and pink.

"I love Tess and Sam," he said. "The pain of them not playing in the yard and not being around enjoying life, that's excruciating."

Crespi, who was under a suicide watch shortly after the killings, said his depression is finally under control, thanks to prison doctors who he said put him on the right medication.

His wife visits him nearly every week. His three other children — Jessica, 18, Dylan, 14, and Joshua, 10 — have also visited. All have forgiven him, he said, and his wife treats him with "love, forgiveness and compassion."

He said he expects they will need to find a way to continue forgiving him.

"I think forgiveness is an ongoing thing," he said. "I can't be forgiven only once for something that I did like this."

And he accepts that he will spend the rest of his life in prison for killing his daughters.

"I can't change what happened to my daughters," he said. "That was awful. I was ill. I was very sick. But I have to be punished."

I just editted my post and put the text in.

OMG!! How horrible!!!

That poor family!!

I do believe that severe depression can cause people to want to harm others. But if he knew he had those thoughts, he should have, for the sake of his family, put himself away. There are treatment centers that could have helped him. I feel bad. He obviously is very regretfull and pained by what he did, so he couldn't have been in his right mind. But to know you have those thoughts and not do anything about it is inexcusable.

Sick SOB.

At least he has the decency to show remorse.

I don't think I could be as forgiving as his wife. Makes you wonder about the dynamics involved there.

I know. I'm not sure I could ever forgive anyone who did harm to my child...especially someone I loved and trusted. I would try to forgive him, for my own sake and my childrens sake, but not with the motive to make him feel better.

It's true that he shows remorse, but the article makes it sound like it happened accidently. "I knew I'd hurt them" - Well it seems pretty obvious if they were stabbed more than a dozen times. Very sad and frightening for the children, including the ones who are still alive. I hope the women has better choice in men for the sake of her surviving children in the future.

But at least this man is pleading guilty and willl be getting life in prison! I could not go be with Him after that sick or not! YOu do not do that! How awful~ I live in Nc and remember hearing about this when it happened! How awful!! I hope He truly is sorry and never gets out of jail!

that man is sick in the head. i dont think he will live very long in prison.
